MAKE RUNNING

In recent years, leading relay teams at LALV divert from the provided route, going off-road and outpacing race coverage until their arrival at the finish. This year, a reporting team embedded at the front of the pack to follow the chase for a new record. As the miles flew by, a pace breaking group of teams emerged, attacking LALV unlike anything we’d ever seen.

Make Running presents: REPZINE VOL. 1 
Available now at makerunning.com The Radical Equity Program [REP] attempted to address the barriers and challenges inherent in The Speed Project for Women and Non-Binary SOLO runners, with the goal of achieving gender equity on the startline of LALV 2025.

During the eight months leading up to the race, we held workshops and open discussions, shared resources, heard from experts and allies, overcame barriers, faced challenges, stood up for ourselves and for each other. We learnt, we educated and we ran. Visibility alone is not enough to create real change, but is an important part of the work: everybody’s story deserves to be told. REPZINE VOL.1 is a 90-page a5 magazine of ideas, reflections and conversations, made by 51% of the LALV 2025 SOLO startline.

Make Running Presents: 3NGRAV3D A film by @klawsss In March 2025, @graverunners became the first Run Crew from New Zealand to compete in @thespeedproject LALV, an unsanctioned 550km relay race from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Six runners, five support crew, one RV, one Jeep, and 51 hours on foot. As this event unfolded, we documented every step of the way. Kayle Lawson, armed with multiple cameras, captured 5,000 photos and 3 hours of video footage. This was no small feat. “An experience that is engraved in our hearts, minds and souls — Part of us will forever remain lost in the desert.“ OG TEAM @connorjulianadams @joshharre @nickphipps_ @lornadenholm @_samantha_nicolec @annabelleraimes Support Crew @bi__ily @porgiezeeks @ashpearce @ursulagriffen Photographer / Film Maker @klawsss Watch the full film at https://youtu.be/KON3l5_zFeg - MAKE RUNNING PRESENTS is a series of films sharing The Speed Project’s LALV 25 experience from a roster of filmmakers around the world embedded with Solo athletes, Relay teams, or defining moments in the desert.

_HOW TO DO A SICK RUNNING EDIT_ From IN THE BELLY OF THE WHALE, the documentary of René Claußnitzer’s ambitious 500km, unsupported, solo race from @thespeedproject LALV25.

Make Running presents IN THE BELLY OF THE WHALE A film by @embracetheworldfilm    IN THE BELLY OF THE WHALE is a story about challenging oneself to accomplish something that seems impossible. Setting your mind to do and finish something hard is much more than the physical pain. This experience acts as a journey, where the layers of ultra running reveal a deeper look into the human soul. The documentary follows René Claußnitzer on his ambitious 500km, unsupported, solo running race from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. A thin red line between feeling alive and brutal suffering - and eventually reconnecting to the love for running again. To ensure the solo unsupported spirit and experience of the journey, this film was entirely filmed from a mountain bike during 5 days and nights on the way to Las Vegas. With the goal to capture a raw and real adventure as it really happened.

Make Running presents HERO A film by @oolamigoke . Featuring @tommie_runz : The film drops 12/5 at 5pm ET on YouTube! Set a reminder at the link in profile (https://youtu.be/Ql4HYBgZrCI) 340 miles. 6 days. A story I never planned to tell… but one I had to live. This film follows my solo run from LA to Vegas … the highs, the breakdowns, the desert, the healing, and the friends who carried me through miles I couldn’t carry alone. It’s more than a running film. It’s recovery, grief, purpose, and choosing to keep moving when everything in you says stop. It’s a reminder that no matter where you’re starting from… you can become the hero of your own story. Can’t wait to share this with you all. Set your reminder. Premieres Friday at 5pm ET. Let’s watch this one together. - Tommie Runz
