Does Naomi Brand get dressed by little birds in the morning?
She may look like a Disney princess, and have the same magical relationship with animals, but her eyes are on the podium, not a prince.
Naomi has made a name for herself in trail running by winning the Addo Elephant Trail Run 100 miler this year, placing third overall, and beating the women’s record by five hours.
When she’s not running, she studies Veterinary Science at Onderstepoort in Pretoria, and paints huge oils on canvas.
She describes herself’ and an artist.
