The Speed Project
Unsanctioned with no official route, no spectators, no rules — just a team, a van, and a lot of miles of desert in between. It's the one we're pointing everything at.

No noise. No egos. No exposure. Just running.
The Unofficial Running Club has no committee, no membership fee, and no finish-line photographer chasing a hashtag. It started with a few people meeting on a street corner at an unreasonable hour, and it mostly still is exactly that.
You don't sign up. You show up. You run. You leave the ego at home with your excuses.
The pace is whoever showed up. Nobody gets dropped, nobody gets a medal.
No sponsorship obligations, no ambassadors, no content calendar. Word of mouth only.
What happens on the long run stays on the long run. Probably a bad idea. Definitely happening.
We don't race much. When we do, we go big and tell almost nobody.

@marco.facci_ ↗One of the crew is chasing his own line. Alex — also known as chubby.run — is training for the TCS London Marathon 2027 and logging every session to a live dashboard: pace, elevation, weekly load, and a finish-time projection that updates itself as the numbers come in.
Ultra Inspired
One sponsor. No billboards. Ultra Inspired keeps the team moving with real fuel for long, stupid distances — and they understand that the whole point is to keep the noise down.
@ultra.inspired ↗There's no link to join. If you know someone who runs with us, ask them where and when. If you don't — we're not hard to find. We're just not loud about it.
