Our
Story
Our Story
Ryder and Kezzie Searle finished their NCAA eligibility, and realized they weren't ready to hang up the racing shoes. Setting high goals, they hit the roads in pursuit of making Olympic trials and other competitive races. During this time, they met other runners in the Denver area training at a high level and going after similar goals. As sub elite athletes, many of their endeavors are self-supported. Valuing community and the support of a team, four founding members established a group and sought to find other athletes who have the same goals. Located in the mile-high city which is 5,280 feet in elevation, 5280 Distance Project was born.
