Olympic shooter Lauryn Mark is no stranger to competition.
The Hoppers Crossing resident is in training and raring to go for the Wyndham Rotary Fun Run, where she will take part in the five- kilometre run.
“I’m not much of a runner, my only goal is not to stop,” she said.
Mrs Mark will line up alongside her son and daughter for the race, and says there has already been some friendly rivalry among them all.
“It will be an inner-family battle,” she laughed.
The Marks will be among 700 people due to pound the pavement for the 10th annual Wyndham Rotary Fun Run on March 5. Runners can choose between a five-kilometre and 10-kilometre course, both of which start at Chirnside Park and wind along the Werribee River trail.
People looking for a more leisurely outing can opt for a four-kilometre or eight-kilometre route, and children are being invited to dress up as a superhero for a novelty race.
The fun run is one of Wyndham Rotary’s biggest fundraisers, helping equip a new critical care unit at Werribee Mercy Hospital.
