This track captures the raw spirit of The Speed Project — a 340-mile, no-rules run from Santa Monica to Las Vegas. Founded by German expat Nils Arend in 2014, it started as a wild idea among friends and grew into a global underground race, drawing elite runners and rebels from over 30 countries.
With no official course, no spectators, and no prize money, teams of six runners and their support crews brave the Mojave, dodging wild dogs, navigating dirt roads, and running through exhaustion and hallucination. From the streets of Tijuana to the trails of Death Valley, this race is about freedom, grit, and finding your limits.

(Verse 1)
Started with a dream on a pier by the sea,
No rules, no maps—just the wild and the free.
From the streets of LA to the Vegas lights,
Through dust and pain and sleepless nights.
A mohawk vision under desert sun,
One man’s rebellion sparked a global run.
No medals, no fans, no flashing sign,
Just a race against yourself and time.
(Chorus)
We run, we sweat, we chase the stars,
From Santa Monica to neon bars.
Across the world, they come to play—
From Seoul to Tijuana, we find our way.
No freeway signs, no cheering crowd,
Just pounding hearts and lungs aloud.
The Speed Project, raw and true,
We run for the fire that’s burning through.
(Verse 2)
Support crews trail with aching eyes,
Trading rest for desert skies.
Powerlines hum, sandstorms blind,
But we push forward, one stride at a time.
Started as six friends, a reckless dare,
Now a movement in the desert air.
From Berlin streets to island heat,
All paths converge in desert beat.
(Bridge)
No bibs, no stage, just grit and soul,
In this outlaw run, we all play a role.
The road ain't kind, but it knows our names,
From blisters to glory, we earn this flame.
(Final Chorus)
We run, we burn, through highs and lows,
Across the Mojave where the wild wind blows.
From Mexico’s pride to London’s pace,
We run to remember, not just to race.
No finish line but the Vegas sign,
The Speed Project—no rules, just time.
