The Red Project is a community built on showing up—day after day, mile after mile.

We train together, race together, and support one another through the highs and lows, because progress is never a solo effort.

We’re runners of all backgrounds and abilities who believe effort and consistency matters more than talent.

Whether it’s training for a 5K or toeing the line at an ultramarathon, we push ourselves and each other to be better, not just as athletes but as people.

Rooted in Jackson, our goal is to strengthen and grow the local running community by creating a space where athletes feel supported, challenged, and connected. The “red” represents redlining which is based in commitment, grit, and the willingness to give something of yourself in pursuit of growth. The place where comfort ends and real progress begins.
