Raleigh Distance Project Runners Chase Records

With many spring races canceled or postponed due to COVID, our friends from the Raleigh Distance Project have come up with an awesome plan to lay down some fast times. This Thursday, they'll work together as a team, pacing each other in attempts to break the American Records in the 20K, 25K, and 30K distances on the track.

The current records to beat are:

20,000 AR = 1:22:24 Maxine Johnson
25,000 AR = 1:44:06 Maxine Johnson
30,000 AR = 2:09:23 Teri Gerber

Spectators are not permitted, but you can watch the entire event by tuning in to RDP's Instagram livestream here. The broadcast will feature commentary from our very own Brian Fowler.

Special thanks to Brooks Running for partnering with us to provide all of the team's training and racing shoes this year!
