    My name is Charlyn McDanold. I am a wife, a mom of 3 busy kids and the lucky owner and head coach of Cottage Grove Moms on the Run for the last 7 years!!

    One of my most FAVORITE things is getting to help women take an hour for themselves, to fill their cups, surround themselves with a supportive team to do life with and to help them see they deserve to have goals too. Don’t think you need to see where you are at before you try us out. We want you RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE and we will motivate, support and take steps with you to where you want to be.

    SPRING AND SUMMER: SIGNATURE TRAINING

    Our signature training program lets you attend classes from 1 to 5 times per week. We strongly recommend choosing an interval class at least once a week, which includes a higher level of structure and support. From walkers to runners, women will start at their own level and progress throughout the season.
