How far would you go to raise awareness of your cause?
Today we chat with Fortune 50’s great leaders, Mina Guli. An ultra-marathon runner and water activist, Mina founded the global movement #RunningDry to raise awareness about water consumption.
Mina a self-confessed ‘bad runner’, completed 40 marathons across seven deserts on seven continents in seven weeks in 2016 and then completed the equivalent of 40 marathons in 40 days down six of the world’s great rivers in 2017.
In 2018, Mina began #RunningDry which has quickly grown into a global movement. She set out to complete 100 marathons in 100 days. After running 62 marathons, Mina was devastated to break her femur. That’s when she realised that this ‘movement is bigger than me’: her team of supporters helped her to achieve her goal by running the remaining 38 marathons in her stead and even pushing her along in a racing wheelchair.
A former corporate lawyer, Mina has been named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum and one of the 50 greatest leaders in the world by Fortune Magazine.
