The Team Supporting Tabarak's Run Across Pakistan
PROJECT MANAGER
Eric Temple
Hi, I am Eric. I will serve as the project manager for Tabarak’s run across Pakistan. I have followed ultra-distance runs for as long as I can imagine and will be the liaison between Tabarak’s running and fundraising. A lifelong runner, I most recently completed a Half Ironman in 2024 and won a Spartan race in 2023.
I work for The Citizens Foundation, USA where I manage grants and new initiatives. I believe that education is the greatest tool we have to equalize opportunities across cultural and socio-economic lines. TCF is, in my opinion, doing a more effective job at that than any other non-profit in the world. It is an honor to support Tabarak with his run for such an important cause.

RUNNING COACH
Aaron Perez
My name is Aaron Perez and I am a physical therapist and running performance coach. I’ve been a physio for 10 years and run coach for 5 years. I’m honored to support Tabarak and offer guidance for his training as he takes on this incredible challenge to trek across Pakistan. I believe that the human body is capable of incredible feats because the human spirit is meant to endure. There’s a saying in endurance sports, “Where the mind goes, the body will follow.” In meeting with Tabarak, I’m convinced he is fully committed to his goal and has already shown incredible determination. I’m excited to see him continue training and begin his trek this Fall. LFG!! 🙂
