Our story has been much like “defining the relationship,” or finally making a relationship that has been around for awhile, “Facebook official.”
We - Andie, Erin, Sammy, Sarah, Rita, and Tristin, are the Raleigh Distance Project. Our mission is to bring elite running to Raleigh, creating an opportunity for collegiate and post-collegiate runners to continue pursuing their full potential in training and competition.
