152 Laps, and the Crew Kept Running
Phil Gore ran 1,019.92 km in six days and eight hours at Forrestdale, then his crew finished the week for him.
Project 168 was one lap, every hour, for a week. Phil Gore got to 152 of them: 1,019.92 kilometers, 633.75 miles, six days and eight hours, 33 laps past his own backyard ultra world record. He stopped 16 short of the full 168.
$267,000 raised for Telethon.
Then the part that makes this a story about a place rather than a person. His crew stayed at Forrestdale and ran out the rest of the week without him, hour by hour, to the end.
