Jo Keppler is a wife, mom, ultramarathoner and in her own words a recovering alcoholic. Jo recently placed first at the Karkloof  Trail Series 100miler and a few months before that she placed 2nd at Ultra-Trail Drakensberg.  Jo is very passionate about advocating for drug and alcohol rehabilitation as well as mental health awareness.
Jo is also involved in several charity initiatives. In 2020, Jo ran a 130km Pacing way to Change run to raise funds for the Southern Lodestar Foundation. (The 130km represented R1.30 what it costs to feed a child.) This year she has been selected as one of the ambassadors for The Rhino Peak Challenge to raise funds for The Endangered Wildlife Trust.
