Mubarak to run the Leicester 10K with Muslim Runners

Meet Mubarak Sheikh,  the community lead for local running group, Muslim Runners 

Mubarak will be part of the pacing team helping our runners achieve their race day goals at this year's Leicester 10K. 

"I’m Mubarak, an avid runner and the Active Community Lead for the Muslim Runners running group. I want to inspire more people from our community to embrace the transformative power of running, not just for physical fitness but for improved mental well-being. 

Beyond my running journey, I find immense joy in guiding runners as a pacer at events. I am thrilled to share that I’ll be setting the pace at the upcoming Leicester 10K. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about helping fellow runners achieve their goals. It’s more than a role; it’s an opportunity to contribute to the success of others on their running journeys.

Being a pacer isn’t just about reaching the finish line; it’s about helping others discover their inner strength and resilience. There’s a unique sense of fulfillment in knowing that you played a role in helping others reach their running milestones, whether it’s a personal record or a first-time achievement."
