40,000 Kids in East African Run Clubs

from Borderlands Trail and Ultra Running

Brett Harrison started Red Knot Racing Co. as an expression of his heart for Tanzania, Tanzanians, and running.  His first mission, however, is not running.  It's community development.[Presented by Naked Sports Innovations]Brett moved to Tanzania in 2009 where, among other things, he helped improve agricultral practices.  But over time, his staff grew to 15 local Tanzanians who started putting on endurance events at the base of Kilimanjaro and to this day is the only organization permitted to do them year after year.But again, its not about the races.  Races are a means of community development.To an outsider, you see world class events and assume he's building something to sell to UTMB or building an empire for empire's sake.  He's not.  He's building something to positively impact the lives of Tanzanians.By the way, Red Knot puts on the largest outdoor sports festival in East Africa with 1,500 attendees.Check out Red Knot Racing and Red Knot Development. ----Patreon | BtS Building BorderlandsBorderlands.cc | Podcast NetworkSign up: analog*Borderlands [new]letter Hyperlyte Hotline - RUNMORE649 (786.667.3649)Wylder is now available on iOS + Android.Salt Lake Foothills Trail Races | 30 May 2026PartnersHyperlyte Liquid Performance - 100g Carbs, 1000mg Sodium, Miles of DirtNaked Sports Innovations - I wear this running belt EVERY TIME I RUN.______________RUNNING GEARNaked Running Band Path Projects Apparel La Sportive Prodigio Pro PODCAST GEAROSMO Pocket 3 Shure MV7 Neewer MS60B
