Welcome to the Wildcoast Wildrun 2012!

Three days of running 112km of the most magnificent coastline in South Africa

awaits you! We have no doubt

you are as excited as we are…

Few words can describe the

physical and emotional high of

this journey ahead of you. It’s

not just the magnificence of

this wild and untouched

coastline that will blow your

mind; but the combination of sharing this life-changing experience with the people

you meet and friends you make along your journey from Kei Mouth to the

magnificent finish at the Hole-in-the-Wall.

This is a short guide

with a little about

everything for your

convenience. If there is

anything you are not

sure about, or anything

you need, please don’t

hesitate to ask one of

the Wildrun crew, who will be only too happy to assist.

We look forward to getting to know you in the next few days, and from all of us,

we wish you an injury-free and unforgettable Wildrun journey.

Owen, Tam & the Wildrun team

So who’s who on the crew for 2012?

Owen Middleton – Race Director

The Boss. Owen dreamt it up and made it happen, so here we all

are! If you don’t already know Owen, you’ll normally find him

somewhere in the mountains with his loyal companion Shadow.

Trail running is his passion and lifestyle and bringing it to

everyone else is his mission. Ask Owen about … trail running!

Tamaryn Jupp (Tam) – Event Manager The Real Boss. If you don’t know Tam by now, then you will

pretty soon. She is the backbone of the Wildrun, and will put a

smile on your face any time of the day. Anything you need during

the run, Tam will sort it out. Be sure to ask Tamaryn about her

upside down snorkeling experience…

Chris Goodwin – Hospitality Manager Mr Hospitality. Chris sets the bar in travelling with style and

class, running active tours throughout Africa and in far flung

parts of the world for big international travel companies via his

company Active Africa. A better host – and downright nice guy -

you cannot find. Ask Chris about his passion for mountaineering,

and in particular, spooning on a very tight ledge high up …

Jacqui Goodwin – Registration, Timing & Hospitality

Chris’s better half. A lively intellect earned through a doctorate

in molecular biology, combined with a passion for all things

outdoor, means that Jacqui can engage you in philosophical

debate while hardly breaking a sweat on a bike or hike! Jacqui

also guides active tours throughout Africa and internationally.

When at home, Pepper (cute, but insane!) keeps her busy!

Conrad Seymour & Eugene Miller – Medical Team The body mechanics. Conrad and Eugene own a

specialist events medical business in PE called

‘Eastern Cape Medical Response’. Eugene and

Conrad are just real nice guys - don’t be shy to ask

them for help! They are tasked with dealing with

medical issues and emergencies. Ask them about

the time they almost had a real 4x4 Ambulance…

Pierre Tromp – Communications manager

Mr Communicator. Happily married to Louise, Pierre, has two kids

and has been involved in the two way radio industry since 1981!

He did his apprenticeship in the SA Air Force and now runs TWO

radio companies, one in commercial systems and the other in

amateur radio training and equipment. Pierre has been a ‘Ham’

for 25 years (a founding member in the Western Cape) and just

loves the outdoors, wild life and 4x4ing with family!

Angus Spence – Radio Communications The only local Eastern Capie on the Wildrun crew, Angus will be

supporting Pierre in making sure we have radio communications

along the length of the route. Angus is a Premier League hockey

player, and has grown up 4x4’ing in his back yard – the Wild

Coast. Most importantly he drives the best 4x4xfar.

Dave & Glenda Jupp – Course and Check-Point Managers

Tam’s folks - Dave and Glenda have spent a life-time together,

travelling the world and taking it as it comes. Having lived in

Texas, Greece, France, England and Belgium, they came back

to settle at home in the Cape, where they now try to take as

much time off as possible!

©Wildrunner 2012 7

Dave van der Byl – Race Sweep

This is Dave’s second stint at as sweeper, having swept the

inaugural Lesotho Wildrun in 2011. Dave runs his own instant

lawn business called ‘Green Buffalo’ by day. Sh*t hot body

boarder, Springbok horse rider, gifted mountain biker and now

converted trail runner, Dave spends his pleasure time seeking

thrills outdoors.

Genevieve, Chris & the massage therapy team

The ‘No-Pain, No-Gain’ team… Yup, chances are you will end up

on one of their tables at some stage! These guys will work out all

those niggles and make you feel ready for the next day.

Genevieve and Chris together are a formidable team and have

worked on other multiday trail running events like the Lesotho

Wildrun & the Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon.

Andrew King (D4 Productions) - Event Media

Andrew King’s sporting ability makes him and his D4 film crew

the best team for the job of capturing the essence of the

Wildrun. Andrew has filmed both the Lesotho and Wildcoast

Wildrun’s.

Nick Muzik - Photographer

Nick Muzik is a sport and lifestyle photographer who loves the

great outdoors and has a passion for adventure and wild places.

Thrives when the going gets tough and enjoys a challenge! Will

stop at nothing to get the picture so make sure to look out for

him out on the Wildrun route!
