Part of the growing number of Muslim athletes who choose to cover, Rahaf Khatib is making a name for herself as an accomplished, six-time marathoner. Often found running in Detroit, her first marathon was the Detroit Free Press Marathon.
In an interview with Women’s Running, Khatib stated that she, “runs with her soul and heart”, and that running gives her not only a physical boost, but a spiritual boost as well.
In addition to having a strong social media presence, Khatib has been featured in a number of interviews, and was the first Hijabi runner to be on the cover of a U.S fitness magazine.
