"just a quick update. michael and luca out on the 38th yard, which will break the race record for little dog's... . shades of the old days, no one is here but race staff, crews, athletes, and diane taylor as our only spectator. . the guys look really strong, so this may be going a long time." - LAZ

IF you happen to wander over to Frozen Head State Park, for the BFC or just personal leisure (why on Earth would you do that), The Endurance Artist is now available in the gift shop. 👍

Phil Gore is out of surgery for a hematoma that developed during his Backyard 168 project. He believes the pain in his leg began during the 104th hour. He's recovering well according to his FB page. PC: Phil Gore

PHIL GORE has now put down 147 Yards/Loops, totaling 612 miles. He's running 4.167 miles every hour on the hour. He started Yard 148 with a young boy as he's raising money for disadvantaged children. So far, $207,000.

Backyards needs competitors. Not a solo deal. They also have a special rule: the winner can only do one more loop than the second best runner. This has stymied Phil in the past, so he's doing this special event. By the way, he's also the official WR holder at 119 Yards.

jaredbeasley.bsky.social @jaredbeasley.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

PHIL GORE has surpassed 6 days. Currently on Yard 146. Cruising. Laughing. 600 miles down.

jaredbeasley.bsky.social @jaredbeasley.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

PHIL GORE is still going as the sun is now up in Australia. He is closing in on the six day, 600 mile-mark. Time to switch to the day course.

jaredbeasley.bsky.social @jaredbeasley.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

PHIL GORE has run 585 miles. 4.167 every hour on the hour. He's is currently on Loop/Yard 142 and looking fresh.

jaredbeasley.bsky.social @jaredbeasley.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

PHIL GORE runs onto his 140th loop. Goal is 168 loops, 7 days, 700 miles.

PHIL GORE is still going... If you haven't been following, the firefighter and ultrarunner has been running 4.167 miles every hour on the hour for 138 consecutive hours. He is currently on the 139th loop. He's done 575 miles so far.

"He worked the lock with a hoop of keys. They rattled against the metal gate until the whole thing, all two stories of it, screeched and unfolded like a zipper. 'If you don't fail,' he said on a long sigh of cigarette smoke, 'how will you know how far you can go?'" 🫶: amazon.com/dp/B0DV4NBP4S?…

PHIL GORE has left on Yard 137. While unofficial, it's worth noting the world record for Backyards is 119 Yards/Hours. Phil is 17 hours beyond his WR. That's 70 miles, almost three full Marathons past that previous best. 567 miles run. Stats here: 👇

PHIL GORE took a pain med last loop. Understandable. Not usual for him though. He tries to avoid them. Came in from the 135th Yard okay but started the next with a ginger walk into the darkness. So far, he's raised $180,000 for disadvantaged children.

Have to start on the hour. Run fast and get more rest time. Pace Yourself more moderately and get less time to recover.

All of the above. His wife, Gemma, crews him.

PHIL GORE update. He has now been running 4.167 miles every hour, on the hour, for 132 hours. That's 550 miles. He's still going. The format, the Backyard Ultra, was created by none other than Lazarus Lake.

jaredbeasley.bsky.social @jaredbeasley.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Actually 4.167 miles every hour. Who's counting?

IN CASE you've been busy. An Australian firefighter and ultrarunner, Phil Gore, has been running four miles every hour, on the hour for 121 consecutive hours. 💥 That's 504 miles. Just over five days. He's still at it!! LINK: youtube.com/live/_L4FHM1z-…

PHIL GORE is on Yard 120. Though unofficial, this would surpass the current world record set at Big's last year by... Phil Gore. For those who have wondered how far he can go; he's aiming for 7 days.

PHIL GORE now has 113 Hours down. He's attempting to run 7 days, 700 miles. He's doing 4 miles every hour, a la Backyard style. Some would argue it's much more difficult to run this kind of thing alone. #168

PHIL GORE, firefighter and Backyard Record holder, is attempting to make 168 hours. The Record, his own, is 119. He's currently on Yard 113. Won't count officially but he's raised over $128,000 for charity so far. LINK: youtube.com/live/kkQ8CNb5x… #168

Mark Dowdle wins the Last Soul Standing Backyard with 94 Yards. 392 miles. Ello gets the assist. They were the only runners left in the race for 14 hours.

0415

jaredbeasley.bsky.social @jaredbeasley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

YARD 89: Dowdle claps. Ello stands still in the back of the corral. The bell rings. They go out for four more miles.

040

jaredbeasley.bsky.social @jaredbeasley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

YARD 88. What may seem like checkers may turn into a game of chess, when a knight suddenly hops in and forks your rook. You can fold. Or you can up the ante. Dowdle just threw down a 38-minute Yard. They run on.

030

jaredbeasley.bsky.social @jaredbeasley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

YARD 87. After 570 kilometers, Ello throws down a gauntlet: a 45-minute loop. Dowdle arrives twelve minutes later as the first whistle sounds. A rope-a-dope? We'll see. Stranger things have happened.

040

jaredbeasley.bsky.social @jaredbeasley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

YARD 86. After dashing out a 47-minute loop, Dowdle has slowed the last two loops to 54 and 56. For perspective, Ello's slowest Yard of the entire race is 53. The duo runs on... towards dawn and the five-day mark. PC: Last Soul

jaredbeasley.bsky.social @jaredbeasley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

YARD 84. Both runners came in from the last Yard under 50 minutes. Dawdle in 47. Ello in 48. The race is on... but it's not one defined by speed or athletic prowess. The hardest section of the course is now between your tent and the starting corral. PC: Last Soul
