A celebration of women, Run Like A Mother was founded in 2008 by coach and author Megan Searfoss. Since its start, Run Like A Mother has encouraged more than 20,000 women in all stages of motherhood (novice and experienced alike) across the country to make running a part of their life, plus they had nearly 8,000 mother/daughter duos running last mother’s day!
“Through Run Like A Mother, women everywhere can feel motivated and inspired to get on their feet and keep exercising,” says Searfoss. “The race gives women an opportunity to be a part of something that helps them meet their fitness goals while giving back to the community.” Run Like a Mother partners with women’s and children’s charities in local markets, with each race participant able to make a personal, direct donation during the registration process.
Run Like a Mother has 5K races in six cities over Mother’s Day weekend! Participants receive a tote bag, race tee, finisher’s medal and a finish-line flower!
Can’t find a race near you? You can still join moms across the country as part of the virtual run! Participants in the virtual run receive a virtual training guide, finisher’s tee and a commemorative medal.
