This is a video about the Chinatown Speed Kooks (representing Run For Chinatown in New York City) and our experience participating in the 2023 edition of The Speed Project.
This year, The Speed Project started on Friday, March 24, at 4AM PT. Teams competed to run from the Santa Monica Pier to the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign as quickly as possible.
The Chinatown Speed Kooks came in 30th place out of 65 teams, finishing with a time of 43h0m.
