I’m Ria (@whereisriax) and I’m trying to become the first human to run 20000km along the ancient Silk Road across Asia and Europe, from Vladivostok to Lisbon starting May 2026.
And I’m officially looking for crew member on this historical journey!!
We’ll have a support vehicle that needs to be driven, and an epic documentary/youtube docu series that is begging to be made.
We’ll be crossing 17+ countries, mountains, deserts, grasslands, mega cities, with many different cultures.
The plan is to run 50km a day, with occasional rest days maybe every 10-20 days. So in total the trip will be ~14 months.
The crew is not expected to commit for the whole length, but for ~4 of the 14 months so we can rotate in fresh energy/passports for different regions.
All trip expenses will be covered with the budget (crowdfunding & sponsorship), and any additional funding/revenue we may receive will be distributed as stipend for the crew.
Particularly skills desired:
- Documentary filmmaking
- Videography/photography
- Social media management & content creation
- Car mechanic knowledge
If interested, please fill in the form so I can get in touch: forms.gle/CR9ru5EYfu647hKCA
