I’m Mubarak, a passionate marathon runner, community leader, and advocate for making running more inclusive and accessible. Since taking up running in my 30s, I’ve completed 13 marathons, including Boston 2024, and am on a mission to earn the Six Star Finisher Medal by completing the World Marathon Majors. I’ve also paced major races, including the London Marathon 3:15 group and the Leicester Half Marathon 1:30 group, helping others achieve their goals.
Beyond personal achievements, I’m deeply involved in the running community. As a community lead for Muslim Runners, I actively encourage and support underrepresented groups to embrace running, from 5Ks to ultras. I organize meetups, share advice, and champion diversity in the sport. My next big challenge? My first ultra-marathon—100KM of adventure on the trails!
Being an ambassador for the National Running Show would be an incredible opportunity to inspire more people, share my journey, and highlight the importance of community in run
