Moving In Silence

The Speed Project Solo ~300miles between LA and Las Vegas - Choose your own route, write your own story.

Beginning March 25, 2024 at 0400 PST. My crew and I will be counting down the KMs as I race towards Las Vegas. My WHY is raising funds and awareness for Bigger Than The Trail. An organization that provides mental health supports to those within the endurance community, who otherwise would not have access.

And guess what! You can be a part of this epic journey too! Yes, YOU!

By pledging as little as $0.01 USD per kilometre, as I pave the way for positive change, one stride at a time.

Let’s show the world that when we run with purpose, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.

ABOUT THE RUNNER

Evan Birch - www.ultrabirch.com - (@ultrabirch IG)

I am more than my abilities as an ultra runner—I’m a proud partner, father, friend, and former emergency services professional. My journey into ultra running began in 2017, a pivotal shift from a two-decade career that left me broken but resilient.

Sharing my story is both terrifying and empowering, but it’s through vulnerability that true strength emerges. Together, let’s break the silence, embrace shared experiences, and remind each other that it’s okay not to be okay.

After years of selfless service, I confronted my struggles with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Through intensive therapy and countless miles on the trail, I found healing and purpose. I no longer ran away; I ran towards joy, showing others that there’s always a path forward.

I have an opportunity to continue forward, away from the noise. Summoning joy alongside my pursuits, while seeing what I am truly capable on these incredible two feet and determined soul.

No more moving in silence.

This is my journey, and this is why I run.
