“Sometimes when I go for my runs, I carry her along in the car and she just watches me. I want to give her the motivation that I’m doing something special. She usually cheers me on and she is also aware that I run the full marathon,” Obiri said.

The reigning New York City Marathon champion has enjoyed a great 2023 season and her daughter was able to witness most of the magical moments.

Always waiting for Obiri at the finish line, the Kenyan has surely not disappointed her daughter, thanks to her hard work and sacrifice.

She opened her season with a striking win at the Boston Marathon before a series of half marathons and 10km road races.

The former World 10,000m silver medallist then ended her season with a win at the New York City Marathon.

As she gears up for the 2024 season, Obiri will be hoping to make an impact if she makes the cut to the Olympic team.
