SOMEWHERE
IN THE MOJAVE

The Speed Project. An underground 340 mile race experience from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, on foot. There's no official route, no official support, and no officials telling you where to go. You navigate it yourself through desert, darkness, and the kind of extreme heat that bends the horizon as well as your mind.

To run it, it takes more than fitness. It takes a rare ability to keep moving forward when everything else is screaming at you to quit.

TSP challenges norms, centers discomfort, and pushes runners to each find their own edge in the solitude of the desert.

"It's unconventional, it's really raw. Facing this level
of exhaustion brings together the suffering, the joy,
the weight of life. It's both beautiful and terrifying."
