On this week's edition we visit Sri Lanka to meet Hajith Mohamed, Race Director, Arugam Bay Half Marathon & President, Arugam Bay Development Forum in a hugely inspiring conversation which highlights the immense power of being purpose driven.

Sri Lanka is one of my favourite countries, I have amazing memories from my trip in 2001 exploring one of the most beautiful and diverse countries I have been lucky enough to visit.

Listen to Hajith's inspirational story and dreams to build the Arugam Half Marathon into a globally-recognised event, which attracts runners from all over the world to his piece of paradise; and in the process, makes a huge charity contribution to local communities.

Hear the initial disappointment of only a handful of entries for the first event in 2016, the impact of the Easter Sunday 2019 Colombo bombing and the determination and perseverance which now has the event on track to return this year.
