Episode 46 - Ayman Hakky, Founder & Managing Director, TriFactory - a podcast by Mass Participation World

We start off this week's Aid Station meeting another industry  trail-blazer  Ayman Hakky, Founder and Managing Director at  The  TriFactory in Cairo, Egypt.



 Ayman shares how his journey switched from a semi-professional water  polo player and passionate footballer to a triathlete after he tore his  ACL playing football. It ultimately projected him along a path which has  seen him bring the sport to Egypt and build a business in the industry.



"I got hooked on triathlon while traveling to races overseas and came  back to form a triathlon group and then I thought it would make sense to  start organising similar events in Egypt"



From a first event  in 2013 with 150 participants Ayman's company now delivers a porfolio of  events including triathlons, marathons, trail runs, Tough Mudde. His  last event before lock-down, which seems like a must do if the photos  are anything to go by, was the Pyramids Half Marathon with 4,000  participants.



Inspiration for Ayman comes from watching others  overcome adversity "what Beruit Marathon has achieved in similar  circumstances to Cairo inspires me to match their success in the future.  "
