Last year Ghani Souleymane was one of two residents recognised by HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, and inaugurated into the Dubai Fitness Challenge Hall of Fame for completing 30 ultramarathons in 30 days.

Since then, he won a local hero award and at the time, approximately a year ago, he told Lovin Dubai he couldn’t swim but it was his mission to complete an Ironman.
