Competitive running at it’s heart is a simple activity – just you against the other competitors in the race, trying to beat the person ahead and not being passed by the person behind. This is me in a nutshell – a minimum of style and a lot of heart,...
Hey I’m Annie Kitto! I am a Middle Distance runner and Steeplechaser from Adelaide, South Australia. I own a pet rabbit, I have an obsession with smoothies, work a full-time job at lululemon whilst also going into my sixth year at uni. My running career started when I was eight...
