2️⃣0️⃣ 🎂 – This year, the @hansonsbrooksodp celebrates 20 years with @brooksrunning 

The Hansons-Brooks Distance Project is a team of elite American distance runners that was founded in 1999 by coaches and running store owners, Kevin and Keith Hanson. Frustrated with the lack of success in American distance running, the Hansons decided to invest in the sport by creating a team that focused on the power of teamwork. 

The team started with three relatively unknown athletes who lived together, trained together, and competed together. Since then, the team has grown to nearly seven times its original size and has produced two Olympic marathoners in Brian Sell and Des Linden. The team’s success has helped shift American long distance training culture towards a “better together” mindset. 

🗣️ “The groups that are out there like: The @brooksbeaststc with @dannytmackey - Danny was an athlete of ours. @naz_elite’s @coachbenrosario1 was an athlete of our’s. @djritzenhein, who is at OAC, was an athlete of our’s. All are these are people who have roots at Hansons-Brooks. We’re proud of those things because it’s not just people who are working for Brooks now but working elsewhere in the industry and building up the sport on several areas.” – Kevin Hanson

Two decades later, The Hansons-Brooks Distance Project is still producing athletes with shots at making the 2024 US Olympic Marathon Trials and the U.S. Olympic team for the Summer Games in Paris. 

We paid the team a visit in Michigan to capture a workout and get a little history lesson ahead of the 2023 Boston Marathon.
