How do you run 300 miles? By doing it together! This spring, Lupe (@sprobrolupe) will represent @atribecalledrun as he takes on The Speed Project Solo (@thespeedproject), covering every mile from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in this wild ultra-marathon challenge. While Lupe will be running solo, he won’t be alone—his elite crew of Vito (@diggitydah), Ted (@tedsheppy), Ashley (@ashleyjoywoods), and Haldan (@halfdanish) will be supporting him every step of the way. Beyond the crew, Lupe will have the advice, support, and energy of everyone in A Tribe Called Run, the larger Baltimore running scene, and the TSP network cheering him on from afar.

Lupe’s running journey began in Colorado, but it was Baltimore’s joyous, enthusiastic, and diverse runners who inspired him to take his passion to the next level. Now, he’s excited to represent Baltimore in this legendary race and to defy stereotypes about the region on a public stage. Our team name, “In Bocca al Lupe,” is a play on the Italian phrase for good luck, “In Bocca al Lupo.” It literally means “in the mouth of the wolf,” which feels fitting for a 300+ mile ultra-marathon and is inspired by the wolf-pack mentality of A Tribe Called Run and our Saturday morning long runs.

To make this race possible, we’re kicking off a GoFundMe to raise funds for vehicle rentals, nutrition, gear, and other necessities to help Lupe and the crew. This is the easiest way to support Lupe as he takes on this challenge. We’ll also be organizing other fundraising events in the coming months and will share updates here, so be sure to follow along. We hope you’ll join us, show your support in any way you can, and help Team In Bocca al Lupe crush The Speed Project Solo!
