Urige Buta - the Running Janitor


Looking for a little inspiration for your running? You've come to the right place.

Clicky-click right here to read the amazing tale of Urige Buta, a refugee from Ethiopia, now living in Norway, who runs through mile-long sewer tunnels in between shifts as a janitor.
