Backyard Ultra Podcast

Last week Phil ran for 152 hours as part of his Project 168 run for Telethon.  It was an absolute treat to have Phil back on the podcast to talk all about one of the most impressive endurance runs of all time.

Adam McDonald was a natural fit as a commentator at Phil Gore's Project168.  He was there from beginning to end capturing moments for the documentary he is making about the project.  Adam is also making his BYU debut at Sydney's Backyard Ultra on the 19th September.  Go Macca!

Yuko has been running Backyard Ultra's since her debut at No Time to Die in 2022 where she ran 15 yards.  Since then she has run a PB at 6 of her BYU's and most recently broke the Australian Women's Backyard Ultra record by running 65 yards at Clint Eastwood Backyard Ultra.

Nikolay is the race organiser of Biotropika Backyard Ultra in Russia.  Biotropika was run a few weeks ago now and is definitely the most controversial race in Backyard Ultra history.  After both the male and female Backyard Ultra world records were broken, the format's creator and decision maker Gary Cantrell announced the entire race as void due to a breach in how the rules were followed.

Phil Gore is the Backyard Ultra World Champion and World Record Holder.  He recently announced that he was running a Backyard Ultra style solo attempt at reaching 168 yards.  Titled PROJECT 168.  Phil came on to talk all about.  Phil's website:  www.philgore.com.au
