Hearing Bill's Voicemail in the Film

Zach Miller is a legendary trail runner, splitting time between Oregon and Colorado. He is one of the most beloved and most decorated athletes of the last decade, not only because of his results but in how he approaches the sport.

This is a companion podcast for a new film that Freetrail released this week, documenting Zach's race at the 2025 Hardrock 100. The film is entitled A Lap For Bill - a moving tribute to his late friend Bill Dooper.
