Somali creator · London · Running for Sudan

Yaseen Hussein is a Somali creator from London. In 2026 he ran the London Marathon, then came back a week later for the Southampton Marathon while carrying a knee injury. Later that year he took on 200km from London to Birmingham for Sudan. The point was simple: make people pay attention, get people involved and turn the distance into support.

Yaseen Hussein

Why 200km?

Yaseen was already pushing the distance before the London to Birmingham run. He completed the London Marathon, then ran Southampton a week later on 3 May 2026 while dealing with a knee injury.

After that he went much further. The next challenge was 200 kilometres from London to Birmingham. Milton Keynes became one of the key stops, with runners and supporters meeting him on the road.

The run was there to raise money and keep Sudan in view. People could follow the route, share it, donate and show up. That mattered more than making the challenge look polished.

Yaseen put it simply: “pain is temporary, but purpose lasts forever.” The documentary keeps the rough parts in. The road, the tiredness, the stops and the people around him are the story.

The run.

200km sounds neat when you write it down. It was not neat on the road. The run became a moving group of friends, runners, people waiting at stops and people following from their phones. That is the bit we want to keep.
