The Team That Supported Tabarak's Run Across Pakistan

PROJECT MANAGER

Eric Temple

Hi, I am Eric. I served as the project manager for Tabarak’s run across Pakistan. I have followed ultra-distance runs for as long as I can imagine and was 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 was 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 a run coach for 5 years. I was honored to support Tabarak and offer guidance for his training as he took on the incredible challenge of trekking 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 was convinced he was fully committed to his goal and had already shown incredible determination. It was exciting to see him continue training and begin his trek that Fall. LFG!! 🙂
