Mustapha Mroueih

Mustapha started his adventure and endurance sports journey in May 2012, the day his wife Dana informed him that they were expecting a baby boy, later named Karim. On that particular morning, he took the decision to transform his life and lose the extra weight he'd been carrying for the previous 3 years. In the following years, he has finished 7 marathons on 6 continents and King George Island, also known as the Gateway to Antarctica, in 10 days; he has completed many ultramarathon races (100km, 50km, 24hrs race); finished five other individual marathon races, scaled 3 high mountains; and accomplished countless smaller races, cycling challenges, hikes, climbs and trail runs, developing a passion for long distance running on challenging terrains. Mustapha has also been leading the challenges and adventures with his team, OmniAthletes, aiming to raise awareness and funds for children with cancer and to fulfil his pledge to give back to a society. Five children with cancer (Shahd, Mohammed, Hajar, Layth and Issa) received full funding for their treatment as a result of the team’s efforts, raising an amount close to $200,000 so far. By profession, Mustapha is Finance Director for Visa Inc.
