Project Mission:
The Egress Endurance Project exists to empower, encourage, and inspire individuals on their journey out of addiction by providing transformative, positive outlets—through endurance sports, movement, time outdoors, the healing power of community, and the unwavering belief that every person is more than their struggle.
Through endurance-based activities, projects, and events, we seek to create meaningful opportunities for individuals battling addiction to rise above adversity and rediscover hope.
We believe that recovery is not a destination but a courageous, ongoing journey—and no one should walk it alone.
Egress Endurance Athletic Inspiration Projects – Inspire. Endure. Support.
The Athletic Inspiration Projects empower individuals to turn their endurance goals—whether it’s an ultra marathon, 5K, marathon, triathlon, ruck, or any physical challenge—into a powerful platform for purpose. By choosing an event to represent the Egress Endurance Project, athletes raise awareness and funds to support those battling addiction, showing that overcoming adversity is possible.
These are more than races—they are personal declarations that we are not alone, that healing takes action, and that the human spirit is capable of doing hard things.
By stepping up, athletes inspire and encourage others to endure adversity, embrace healthy challenges, and support recovery through action.Join the movement.
Support the mission. Encourage the fight.

2026: 4 - For Rachael Running Project:
2026 is a new year and a new opportunity to begin an endurance project to support my incredible sister-in-law Rachael and her family as she continues to bravely battle cancer.
This year, I (Jason Parks) will commit to completing 4 ultra-distance events, starting with the Yankee Springs Winter Challenge 50K on January 3, and ending with the Wolverine State 100 on October 10–11, all to encourage Rachael and her family during this difficult season.
This project is meant to stand alongside Rachael—to offer strength, hope, and support as she works toward receiving a life-saving liver transplant. It also aims to raise much-needed financial assistance to help cover medical treatment, household needs, and the many unexpected expenses their family is facing.
If you feel called, here is a link with more information and a way to support Rachael and her family:
