He ran from Cape Town to London to challenge racism

Uganda-born trail runner Deo Kato became the first person to run from Cape Town to London, covering 200 marathons across 20+ countries over 1.5 years. Inspired by the racism he faced in the UK, Kato set out to trace humanity’s migration from Africa to challenge the idea that people should "go back to where they come from." Along the way, he was racially profiled, imprisoned in South Sudan, and faced many hardships. Now back in London, he’s sharing his journey and speaking out against racism, both in society and within the running world.
