The Speed Project, a secret ultramarathon
The Speed Project is a secret ultra-marathon, starting in Los Angeles and ending in Las Vegas.
This, he explained, was a welcome to the Speed Project, a 340-mile relay race from Los Angeles to Las Vegas with no designated route, no specific rules and only one goal: to get there as fast as possible.
Arend, the founder of the race, didn’t want video to leak out, because the underground lore was why most of the runners were here. Many of them considered the Speed Project a cult that gathered once a year; not only were there no rules, but there were no spectators and no prize money for the winners. There wasn’t even a website or an entry form. The only way in was through Arend’s WhatsApp.
It’s like Cannonball Run in footrace form.
