Born in 1992, Jonathan Escalante-Phillips is a UK long-distance runner with ambitions on both the road and track, dedicated to pushing his limits and representing his community through endurance sport. Years of disciplined training and competition have fuelled his commitment to performance. However, unlike many professional sports, elite distance running often relies on athletes self-funding constant costs such as travel, race entries, coaching, and equipment.

Despite these barriers, Jonathan continues to chase faster times, compete at top UK and international races, and inspire the wider running community. Supporting him provides resources to access world-class coaching, training facilities, and competition opportunities, helping him reach his full potential while offering brands and partners the chance to align with a story of dedication, discipline and community impact.
