Two great races are highlighted in the first episode of the season.
UM Australia + UltraMX 515 Non-Stop
First, I have a conversation with the two champions of the 2024 UM Australia that recently wrapped in Noosa. Melinda Cockshutt and Anthony Vloedmans share how the race went for them this year and a little about themselves.
In the second part, friend of the show, Van Sanchez, is back again to introduce the twelve athletes who will be taking part in the gruelling UltraMX 515 Non-Stop (36 hours max - no sleep) on May 31 and June 1st. In a unique preview format, we have three of the athletes join us to explain why they are taking on the Non-Stop.
It will come as no surprise to regular listeners that all six guests have similar feelings about the events, the fellow competitors, and the amazing staff that put these together.
It’s a love fest for Ultra in our season 6 debut episode.
Melinda speaks about Heart of Courage. It is a charity that she founded with her friend and fellow UM Australia athlete Rebecca Hoesche. You can find out more about the charity and donate by following the links below.
