What if one ride would change more than just a world record?
500 miles around Lake Ontario. A world record attempt turned into a movement for MS. And the restless pursuit of all 5 Great Lake World Records.

The Route
500 miles around Lake Ontario — a near-perfect loop of endless shoreline, city streets through Toronto, rolling hills, and long, empty (mostly) roads.
The Attempt
Phil Fox set out to break the speed record — riding nonstop, through the night, chasing time across two countries.
The Reality
Sleep deprivation, mental games, unpredictable weather — the real fight wasn’t just physical, it was everything else. Phil could not have done it without his incredible support team.
The Why
Because pushing yourself to the edge is one thing — but riding for something bigger makes every mile matter.
Riding for Those Who Can't.
Multiple sclerosis affects nearly 1 million people in the U.S., impacting their ability to move, to ride, to live freely.Phil rides because he can — but he's riding for those who can't.
We’ve partnered with BikeMS to use this film to raise funds for MS research, support, and advocacy.
How We Captured the Ride of a Lifetime.
Filming a world record isn’t glamorous. It’s sleep deprivation, backroads, losing our GPS signal, and chasing a cyclist through a busy city on a Saturday morning.
But it’s also why this story feels real.
The Team
Our Goal
We’re in the final stages of finishing The Ontario Pursuit — but the next (and biggest) chapter is right around the corner.
In June 2025, Phil will attempt to set the speed record around Lake Huron — 1,000 miles in 72 hours. We’re aiming to raise $20,000 to help make that film possible — covering production, crew, travel, and post-production costs.
Your support helps us capture the next story while we finish this one.
Every donation moves us forward. Every dollar helps bring these world record rides to life.
Every donation supports two things.
1. Completing this independent film.
2. Funding life-changing MS research, advocacy, and patient support through BikeMS.
The Impact
Along the way, Phil and his crew have raised over $200,000 for MS research and support — combining personal fundraising with record-setting rides and Race Across America.
