"You meet so many different kind of people along the course, some of them are so inspirational! And I always say to anybody who thinks they can't do it, When you run the race and you see the people that are running and some of the challenges that they're facing you know anybody can do it." ~ Tasha Thompson, Founder Black Girls Do Run UK! Tasha has been running and racing for 21 years. She lives in London, UK, and is a mother of two children. To date she has run well over 30 races including 2 marathons, a marathon relay, 7 half marathons and several 5k's, 10k's and various other distances. To celebrate 20 years of running, in 2019, Tasha created Black Girls Do Run UK (BGDRUK), a community to inspire, encourage and motivate more regular black females to run.  She is passionate about helping women and giving back to her community through running and activity she loves dearly. Tasha is also a mom and busy medical professional in one of London's biggest and busiest hospitals. ***If you'd like to follow BGDRUK, you can find them on Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/blackgirlsdorunuk )and on Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/blackgirlsdorunuk/ )
