LAP 168, TOGETHER 🏃♀️🏃♂️
This morning, our Pilbara Trailblazers community came together on the Red Dirt Backyard Ultra course for a Project 168 virtual lap.
Some ran, some jogged, some walked and some rode. We had adults, kids and dogs out on the course, and one lucky little Trailblazer even got carried on her super mum’s shoulders!
Some completed the full 6.71km within the hour and some finished with a DNF, but everyone was there to be part of lap 168.
It was wonderful to see our community come together to celebrate Phil Gore and Gemma Gore, their incredible Project 168 journey and the amazing amount raised for Telethon7 Perth.
Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning. What a special way to mark lap 168 together! ❤️

LET’S RUN LAP 168 TOGETHER 🏃♀️🏃♂️
Like so many of you, we’ve been following Phil Gore’s incredible Project 168 journey, amazed by his strength, determination and ability to keep heading back out, hour after hour.
Phil set out to run 6.71km every hour, on the hour, for 168 hours, with the goal of raising $168,000 for Telethon7 Perth. His run came to an end on lap 153, after more than six days and 1,000 kilometres of running, with over $250,000 raised. What an absolute legend!
At 7am tomorrow, Sunday 30 August, Phil would have started lap 168. To mark the moment, Pilbara Trailblazers are inviting our running community to join us for a Project 168 virtual lap on our Red Dirt Backyard Ultra course.
Come along to run or walk 6.71km - let’s fill the Red Dirt course and celebrate Phil Gore and Gemma Gore and the incredible Project 168 effort together.

Wednesday Running Inspiration 🏃♂️🔥
Phil Gore is currently halfway through an absolutely INSANE challenge to raise $168,000 for Telethon — Project 168.
His goal? To run 6.71km at the start of every hour, on the hour, for 168 consecutive hours. That’s 7 days (and nights) of running! 🤯
If that sounds familiar, it should! Phil is the current Backyard Ultra World Record holder, with an incredible 119 laps to his name.
We’d love you to get behind Phil and Project 168! ❤️
