Welcome to the Wildcoast Wildrun 2011! 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. Its not just the magnificence of this wild and untouched coastline that will blow your mind; but the combination sharing this life changing experience with the people you meet and the 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 dont 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.

Run wild!

So whos who on the crew for 2011? Owen Middleton Race Director

The Boss. Owen dreamt it up and made it happen, so here we all are! If you dont already know Owen, youll normally find him somewhere in the mountains with his loyal companion Shadow. Trail running is his passion and his 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 dont 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 on the vertical faces of Mt

Kenya

Dave van der Byl Course Manager Owens primary-school mate, Dave runs his own instant lawn business called Green Buffalo by day. Springbok body boarder and horse rider, sh*t-hot mountain biker and converted trail runner. Dave spends the rest of his time seeking thrills on a trail, either by bike or by foot. Mountain biking is his passion, but trail running is fast becoming his favorite pass-time, and he is annoyingly good at

it too

Paul van Spronsen Communications manager Mr Communicator, Paul is a member of HAMNET, the amateur radio emergency communications division of the SARL. He enjoys travel to wild and far off places in his trusty Toyota.

active tours throughout Africa and internationally. When at home, Frank and Pepper (cute, but insane!) keep her busy!

Mark Voges Race Sweeper Self professed beach bum, Mark has the most uncanny ability to be ready for any adventure unless the surf is up, in which case that will take priority. By day, Mark is a geographer, conservationist and jack of most trades, master of none. Mark also recently qualified as a field guide, specializing in Fynbos and coastal marine walks. The only thing Mark is not so keen on is

shark cage diving he wants to carry on surfing for a while still!

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 (D4 Productions) & Kelvin Event Media Andrew Kings 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 Wildruns. Kelvin Trautman is South Africas most talented and creative adventure sports

photographer, and together with his extreme fitness makes him the only photographer out there that can run and shoot for the whole day
