Fresh from her athletics tour of the United States, Samantha Cross took out the teenage category at the Forbes Fun run on October 12.
Her mother Carol didn’t disappoint by claiming 4th in the 5 kilometre women’s category.
Carol said “I have been competing in fun runs from 5 to 10 kilometres as a child and Samantha and I often enter run together.”
Samantha said that she has been running since she was 7 years old and competing in fun runs since she was 8. “My mum has influenced my running and has always encouraged me to run for fun. I run because I love it and appreciate her support.”
