In this special bumper episode of the Cowbell, we bring together a powerful panel of runners, pacers and volunteers to share raw and unfiltered stories from the rugged trails of the GPT100, an event created by the team at Singletrack and part of the World Trail Majors series. This is not about splits or gear. It is a look into the moments that changed people, challenged them and in some cases completely reshaped what they believed they could do.

You will hear from runners who carried far more into the race than just their packs. Personal battles, unexpected setbacks, quiet victories and turning points that unfolded where no one was watching. You will hear about the wild weather, the emotional highs and lows and the community spirit that rose up in unexpected ways. You will meet the everyday legends who gave everything behind the scenes to help others reach the finish.

Some stories will make you stop, some will hit close to home and some you will not see coming. Together they reveal the extraordinary heart of the Grampians.

And no matter if you are a GPT veteran or someone dreaming of entering GPT100 in the future, this is the episode for you.

Stay with us until the end. The final stories might be the ones that stay with you long after you listen.
