Exploring Race and Diversity: Tasha Thompson

Tahsa Thompson, 43, from London is the founder of Black Girls Do Run UK.

Established in 2019, she set the online community up to help inspire women of colour to run for their health, fitness and mental well being. 

A runner herself for over 20 years, this mum of two describes how, when she first started running 10km and half marathons, she was the only black face in the race photographs. 

But what is STILL preventing black women in the UK from running? We discuss this and more.
