Ultra-marathon runners take on remote Gibb River Road to raise funds for Melanoma Institute

A pair of ultra-marathon runners from WA's South West plan to attempt running one of the country's most challenging four-wheel-drive tracks. 

The duo believe they will be the first people to run the 660km Gibb River Road in the state's Kimberley region and aim to complete the distance in 10 days. 

As well as attempting to run about 100km per day on the journey, Margaret River locals Katie Lovis and Jarrad Bolton will be raising money for melanoma research and awareness — a cause close to their hearts.
