One Lap. Every Hour. One Incredible Cause.

What drives someone to take on a backyard ultra? For Paul, it’s not just a test of endurance—it’s a way to make a difference. Paul is taking on the Gosfield Backyard Ultra to raise funds for Oncogene Cancer Research after being deeply moved by the story of Amy, who was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer at just 20 years old. Seeing the challenges Amy and her family face inspired him to put his own endurance to the test in the hope of making a real difference. The Gosfield Backyard Ultra is unlike any ordinary race. Every hour, on the hour, Paul must complete a 4.167-mile loop. Miss the start of the next lap and his race is over. There is no finish line—the challenge continues until only one runner remains. Paul hopes to run further than he ever has before, pushing himself beyond his previous limits to help fund vital research into oncogene-driven lung cancer. Running wasn't always part of Paul's life. He first laced up his trainers to improve his health, but quickly discovered a passion for endurance challenges. Since then, he's completed five 50K ultramarathons, a 50-mile run to celebrate his 50th birthday, and an incredible 80 miles in 24 hours. Paul knows that no matter how tough this challenge becomes, it cannot compare to the challenges faced every day by people living with lung cancer. Every lap is for Amy. Every mile is for families living with the uncertainty of an oncogene-driven lung cancer diagnosis. Every donation will help fund research that brings us closer to better treatments and more time. Will you support Paul today? Together, we can turn every mile into hope.
