Some Red Hot Bull from City2Surf and the Marathon is Forever King with Boudakin, Farrenkothen and Merrick

What a week for the pod. They’re all great weeks let’s be honest - thanks for tuning in once again.

This week, we answer plenty of questions from you the audience in our warm up segment to kick things off - getting so many now it’s not possible to answer them all.

We chat City2Surf and how our sweet prince Cam Merrick uncovered a Red Bull competition post last weeks recording, to then go on and face controversy in taking the W and booking himself a trip to Japan in 2026.

As always, we unpack the Sydney Marathon build being almost 2 weeks out, an Aussie Athletics update and what we’re buying and selling.

Thanks to all for submitting questions, and to you for watching, listening and all the rest of it. We hope you enjoy!

A guest list of Kris Farrenkothen, Cam Merrick and Ella Boudakin. Hosted by Rien MacDonald.

Never Run Alone is a podcast exploring the definitions of the word "run", through the eyes, mind and souls of humans refusing to stand still.

An eclectic group of people answering questions, sharing thoughts and running amok.

In collaboration with Unofficial Run Club and Powered by Fortem Media.
