Glute Two: Bride King


Bride gives us her best side

The second female team member of the Glutes is Bride King. Second tallest member of the team and easily the fittest, Bride runs half a Trailwalk in a typical week, and has a competitive streak half a mile wide - she's odds-on to be the first Glute over the finishing line on the day.

She has a strong track record as a middle-distance runner in national and international competition, and her main challenge in the Trailwalk will be waiting for the rest of us.

Bride also brings to the team her professional capability as a sports physiotherapist - can't get more useful on a Trailwalk than that - and is another member of the Spring Pilates crew.

On the team she's responsible for recruiting and coordinating our small but growing support crew. If you'd like to get to know Bride, joining our support crew is the best way - ask us how!

Meet the Glutes! Glute One: Felicity Kohut


Flick loves the camera

We thought we better tell you a little about the people you're supporting in this year's Sydney Trailwalker.

Felicity "Flick" Kohut is a multiskilled renaissance woman. Part of the week she works as a bush regeneration team leader, pulling weeds and restoring native flora in some of Sydney's gnarliest bush, so she's already used to narrow bush tracks, dirt, mud and hard work. Part of the week she works as a massage therapist at Spring Pilates, one of our corporate sponsors, where she's famous for her ability to work the kinks out of the tightest muscles. Again, it's a handy skill to have on a Trailwalker team. She's also a homeopath, but not a naturopath, and it's important we all understand the difference!

On our Trailwalker team, Flick's responsible for first aid and team uniforms, so if we're looking and feeling shabby on the day, you'll know who's responsible.

Flick proves she's no 'fraidy cat by choosing a motorbike as her modus transportii, and is ably supported by her man, Nick, who's kindly volunteered as a member of our support crew this year.
