Hundreds of runners in the inaugural Ballarat Marathon paid tribute to missing Victorian mother Samantha Murphy by wearing yellow in the race on Saturday.
Mrs Murphy went missing on February 4 while she was out training for the marathon and has not been seen since.
Participants in the marathon paid tribute to Mrs Murphy by wearing yellow clothing, a reference to her favourite AFL team the Richmond Tigers. “It has been an incredible challenging few months for female runners in the Ballarat community, to train for a marathon while feeling terrified has been very hard,” she said.
