About Douglas Emslie
When Douglas Emslie isn’t serving as Managing Director of London-based Tarsus Group, a global company with 180 exhibitions, he is focusing on another one of his passions – running marathons. The first marathon he tackled 3 decades ago when he was in university in his home country of Scotland. He ran the Glasgow Marathon in 3 hours and 27 minutes. He was scheduled to run the following year’s marathon and was on track to run around 3 hours, when he was injured a week before. After that, running marathons was put aside while he focused on his career and eventually growing a worldwide, successful company. Three decades later, the siren call of running pulled him in again and 3 years ago he started running marathons to prove he could still do them and raise money for good causes along the way.
“I really enjoy the disciple of training and the fact that where ever you are you can just pack your trainers and get out and run. whether it’s Las Vegas or Shanghai it’s a fun way to see parts of cities you wouldn’t otherwise see,” Douglas said. “I believe in helping local charities, like Pathway to Possible, where you can make a difference and can have a direct connection with the people you are helping."
Douglas has raised more than $20,000 for Pathway 2 Possible and will be running the Boston Marathon on their behalf in 2021 as well.
Douglas lives outside of London with his wife, Caroline, and children - Iona, Cameron and Elliot.
