My name is Haitham Daoud.
I started my journey in sport and running in 2018, when I faced personal life challenges. I found an outlet in running, which requires dedication, resilience, patience, and many years of hard work. I found the movement very beautiful - it became a lifestyle and I kept going and haven't stopped! I joined the Khobar Running Crew, a sport community in Saudi Arabia, in July 2020. In the beginning days of the group, we were just a few people running every Saturday at sunrise. I eventually became Lead Captain of the crew thanks to showing consistency and determination.
My main goal has been to create a friendly and safe environment for all the members and to help the team achieve its goals. We provide the appropriate environment for people to practice sports through training, support, and encouragement, by welcoming all levels, all ages, all nationalities, and opening the door for everyone to start and move.
This form of social interaction requires motivation, direction, organization, patience, flexibility, vision and interpersonal skills. Running is always more fun when you run with a community!
it’s the best motivation to reach your goals. And the best thing about running is the continuous learning you go through as a person and as a community. I really believe in sound mind in a sound body!
