The 'Mo Farah Running Away From Things' meme originated from a photograph of the British long-distance runner looking back over his shoulder during the 5,000m final at the 2012 London Olympics. While the original image captured a moment of intense athletic focus, the internet quickly transformed it into a viral sensation by photoshopping Farah into various absurd scenarios, ranging from Jurassic Park dinosaur chases to scenes from The Lion King. The meme is primarily used to represent the feeling of escaping overwhelming responsibilities, awkward social encounters, or metaphorical threats with high-speed determination. Its longevity stems from Farah’s wide-eyed expression, which perfectly encapsulates the frantic energy of trying to outrun one's problems.
