Hi, I’m Fatema — one of the organizers and hike leaders at Challenge 313. By profession, I’m a hospital pharmacist, but my true passion lies in exploring the world, discovering new trails, and bringing people together through the beauty of hiking.
My love for hiking began a few years ago when I found myself drawn to the outdoors, marveling at the breathtaking wonders of Allah’s creation. Since then, I’ve organized countless hikes across the UK and even ventured internationally, with one of my most memorable experiences being a trek up Mount Toubkal in Morocco.
For me, hiking is more than just an adventure—it’s about building community. I’m passionate about creating opportunities for Muslims to connect, share experiences, and enjoy the natural world together. I especially cherish seeing people experience hiking for the first time and witnessing the joy it brings them.
One of my greatest joys is ensuring that Muslim women have a safe and welcoming space to explore trails both at home and abroad. Whether it’s cycling, hiking, or simply sharing stories around a campfire, I love fostering connections that bring people closer to nature and each other.
I can’t wait to welcome you on one of our hikes soon—your next adventure with Challenge 313 awaits!

FOUNDER
Adventurist, Humanitarian, World Cyclest, Expert Convoy Coordinator, Hike lead & trial runner
I am an adventurist, humanitarian, and expert in coordinating convoys. For over 20 years, I have traveled the world, combining my love for adventure with a passion for helping others.
My journey began in 2003 when I started backpacking through Europe, the Middle East, and all the way across Pakistan. On this trip, I witnessed poverty firsthand, which sparked my desire to engage in humanitarian work & continue traveling.
Since then, I have extensively volunteered in disaster and conflict zones, cycled around the world from Europe to Australasia to South America, I've explored well over 100 countries, from the vast Kazak Step and the magnificent Pamir Corridor to the breathtaking Machu Picchu and the stunning salt flats of Bolivia. I've trekked to Everest Base Camp and have led many trips to peaks across the UK & Europe.
With Challenge 313, I aim to use my extensive experience to create safe and enjoyable adventures, hikes, and tours around the globe.
I can't wait to share unforgettable experiences with you and help you discover the incredible joys of the great outdoors!

Hi, I’m Ali, one of the expedition leaders at Challenge 313. Adventure has always been a part of my life, and I love exploring the outdoors, whether it’s hiking through challenging terrains, swimming in open waters, or testing my limits in Mixed Martial Arts. When I’m not working as a vehicle technician, I’m usually out chasing my next thrill.
I enjoy taking on a variety of challenges, from marathons and trail runs to assault courses and cycling events. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of hiking some incredible mountains in all kinds of conditions—sometimes under clear blue skies, and other times battling the elements. Each experience has taught me something new and fueled my passion for adventure even more. One day, I hope to take on Mount Kilimanjaro and even Mount Everest, insha’Allah.
For as long as I can remember, hiking has been a passion of mine, and I love sharing that passion with others. I believe that stepping outside your comfort zone and pushing your limits can help you discover just how much you’re capable of. Through Challenge 313, I hope to inspire you to take on new challenges, embrace the beauty of the outdoors, and make lifelong memories with amazing people.
I look forward to meeting you on the trail and helping you achieve something incredible!
