Underground Speed Race
Share
Sam Parr shares details about an exclusive, underground running race called The Speed Project.
"The Speed Project doesn't have a website - you can only find it on Instagram and it's invite-only. The race has only two rules: You start at the Santa Monica Pier and you have to make it to Las Vegas. You can go there any way you want, but you have to be running the whole time - you can't get in a car. You just have to get there.
There's no website other than you have to be invited to do it. They don't really announce when it's going to happen. Every year when it happens, it goes viral where you see a handful of influencers and you're wondering 'What is the Speed Project? Why are they there?'
My friend did it and got second place."
