With the Backyard Ultra World Champs having captured the world’s attention in recent days, we caught up with the final three from the Singapore edition, a.k.a. Dead ****ing Last, as well as race organizers Jeri Chua and Meagan Douglas. of FatBurd Events.

Former podcast guests Abimanyu Shunmugam and Hoong Wei Wong duelled it out to the bitter end - Abi is a mountain ultra specialist, while Hoong Wei holds the Singapore record for 24 hours - and Jasmine Goh put in an amazing performance, almost doubling the furthest she’d previously run.
