“Simon may not have fulfilled his ambition of becoming the first athlete to win two Okpekpe titles since 2013 when we began this race but he came to Okpekpe this year, ran, and left as the hero,” Mike Itemuagbor said.  

“He did not win any medals but he won hearts,” Mike added. The video of the event brought Simon even more fame when it went viral on social media platforms. So far, it’s amassed 43,000 views and counting.
