Mina Guli's body is broken and battered after she completed her 200th marathon in a year, traversing 8,440 kilometres across the world and arriving at the first UN Water Conference in 46 years.
But Guli said even if that didn't happen, she hoped it would set the framework for stronger action on water security.
In Tajikistan she completed a marathon on Fedchenko Glacier, the longest glacier in the world outside of the polar regions.Mina Guli says seeing glaciers melt first hand was one of the most impactful memories from her journey. "To run through these charred, blackened tracts of land which used to be filled with big trees, I think that was just a very real example of what's happening to our planet and the importance of protecting all aspects of it," she said.
