UM Australia is the focus of this episode once again – like it was a year ago in (S4E8) . I caught up with race director, Jeff Morris, to preview the 40 athletes who are toeing the line in Noosa on May 11-13th. 

With only four previous competitors in this year's field there isn’t an outright favourite, like last year’s, Simon Cochrane; but the women’s field looks to be very competitive.  We discuss all of the athletes and some of the crew members that are returning as Ohana to support.  Take this opportunity to learn more about this 515 race that has been running since 2015.
