The Pursuit of Progress Unofficial Underground Ultra

With the New York City Marathon canceled along with every other race under the sun opting to forgo the 2020 season... something needed to be done.

Welcome to The Pursuit of Progress Unofficial Underground Ultra by Coach Sam Tooley.

The first & second & third editions of this race were such a success that we wanted to keep it rolling. We started with a 5K, then a 5 miler, followed by a half marathon. Now onto the real beast. A mental and physical test like no other.

Last year I started The Night of Lights 5K in memory of my little brother. I will be setting out on a goal that quite frankly, scares me. I will be running for 24 hours straight in my attempt to cover 100 + miles. Each year I've put something on the calendar that challenges me not only physically but mentally. First it was a half ironman, then it was the idea of putting on a full fledged road race, and now this.

Let's commit to continue to push forward and help lift others up. The Pursuit of Progress is a free race event organized by Coach Sam Tooley to help give us a goal to look forward to. Let's lace 'em up and see what we've got!

Let's all push our bodies to the limit because we CAN on November 1st. Run as an individual or as a team. Run a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon or just keep on rolling as long as you want.

*I would encourage you to create a fundraising page for yourself and to raise money for the foundation or organization of your choosing.
