In episode 23 we chat to Mosi Smith.
Mosi is a US Naval Academy graduate who served in the US Marine Corps for 8 years.
While at high school, Mosi had his first taste of endurance running when his team coach asked him to run 4 miles which, at the time, was 4 times as long as he had ever run. Since that day, a day that sparked something inside him – a taste for endurance – he has gone on to finish more than 100 + endurance events of marathon distance and longer.
Mosi sits on boards for non-profit organisations and raises money for those that seek to support the physical and mental wellness of veterans. One of his current fundraising campaigns is ‘1 in 10’ – a campaign to enable him and a friend to raise 1 million dollars for the Semper Fi fund through the completion of endurance events.
Whether raising money for veterans, representing for Black athletes in ultramarathons and adventure racing, or just finding new places to explore and ‘be’ while training, Mosi continues to show up and inspire through his professional and personal commitments.
