The Speed Project is a grueling, unsanctioned 300-mile relay from Los Angeles to Las Vegas that strips away the rules of traditional racing.

I laced up as one of six runners representing Tokyo's Paramount Running. We took home 7th place overall out of 100+ teams. Beyond beating my body against desert pavement, I spearheaded the team's off-course strategy, securing crucial brand investment and sponsorships from global heavyweights Toyota and Adidas to fund and fuel our entire campaign.
