UFFO athletic satellite clubs: AN ATHLETICS CLUB BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS

Mohammed Ismail is the founder of Uffo Athletic and Leisure Group, a South London organisation that spearheads running, athletics and walking for all but with a focus on the city’s Somalian and East African communities. I wanted a club or organisation where everyone was welcome and that is what Uffo Athletic is. We are predominantly for the Somalian, East African and Muslim diaspora but we have people from all cultures join us. We are open to all and have a set up that is based on our own experience, culture and values.

We’ve got an active adult running group of 40 and 120 juniors from people who just want to keep active and take part in local races/Parkrun events to top distance runners and we always go for a coffee or tea afterwards for the wellbeing of all.

Currently sessions include:-

Mondays –Burgess Park (meet next to the Tennis courts) 7.30pm. Interval sessions (8-10km in volume)

Thursdays  –Brockwell Park (meet next to the Lido) 7.30pm. Longer intervals and tempos (volume 12-18km)
