Episode 93 - Deo Kato (Part 1)

In this episode of RunThrough presents ‘Gone Running’ Ben Sheppard has the privilege of sitting down with Deo Kato.

Deo shares his incredible journey of running from Cape Town to London, to tell the story of Human migration. He discusses the challenges faced during his run, including extreme weather, wildlife encounters, and a harrowing arrest in South Sudan.

In this conversation, which is the first of two parts, Ben and Deo recount the African leg of the journey, from its beginning in South Africa to Christmas in his home of Uganda, a reroute due to a failed border crossing and how his arrest, which for many would have marked the end of a journey gave him no other option but to finish. 

He reflects on the importance of understanding migration and the shared experiences of those who migrate, emphasising the beauty of humanity and the connections formed during his journey.
