Help Toni Ross Conquer The Speed Project Solo – Running 300 Miles to Vegas!
Hi everyone,
I’m Toni Ross, a 53-year-old mom of five, grandmother, marathoner, and all-around endurance junkie. This year, I’m taking on my biggest challenge yet—running The Speed Project Solo (TSP SOLO) from Santa Monica to Las Vegas in a few weeks. That’s 300 miles through the desert and I’m doing it completely solo.
Why I’m Running TSP SOLO
I’ve spent years pushing my limits, running marathons across the country and around the world, proving that age, motherhood, and life’s challenges don’t define what’s possible. But this race? This one is personal.
I wasn’t always the strong, determined person I am today. I’ve faced struggles that could have broken me—I was once homeless, I’ve been a single parent, and I’m a domestic violence survivor. I know what it’s like to feel trapped, to fight for a better life, and to rebuild from nothing. Life has tested me in every way, but I’ve never stopped moving forward.
This race is about resilience, grit, and proving that no matter where you come from or what you’ve been through, you can achieve the impossible. I want to inspire anyone who has struggled—whether you’ve been homeless, gone through a divorce, survived abuse, or felt like the odds were stacked against you. You are not alone, and you are stronger than you think.
While I especially hope to empower women and runners over 50, I want this journey to inspire everyone and anyone who has ever struggled and had to fight for their dreams.
What Your Support Means
Running 300 miles solo isn’t just about putting one foot in front of the other—it takes a dedicated crew, logistics, and resources to make it to the finish line. Your donations will go directly toward:
- Jeep Rental / Support Vehicle (so my crew can keep me fueled, hydrated, and safe)
- Travel Accommodations & Gas (getting my crew to key checkpoints)
- Food & Hydration (because 300 miles is a long way to run on an empty stomach)
- Gear & Supplies (safety supplies, recovery tools and essentials to keep me moving)
How You Can Help
Every contribution, whether it’s $5, $20, or simply sharing this page, brings me one step closer to completing this journey. Your support means the world to me, and I promise to document the entire experience so you can be part of this adventure with me.
Let’s prove that no matter where you start, you have the power to keep moving forward!
Thank you for believing in me—I’ll see you at the finish line in Vegas!
