Simbarashe Mugomba
A mountain and ultra runner based in Brighton. I embarked on my running journey in 2017 with the initial aim to regain fitness for squash (I was a half decent Junior until a hamstring injury led me to retirement). However, the allure of running quickly took hold, transforming from road marathons to challenge of ultra running. My first big event was a 280km multi-day race in the Azores in 2019, marking my transition into the ultra-marathon universe. Now, I compete across UK and Europe with the ambition of leading the mid-pack! I am also a trustee of the UK Charity Black Trail Runners where seek to improve the diversity and representation of black people in trail running.
