Our Program

Moms on the Run is a structured fitness program for women of all ages (not just moms) and fitness levels who want to get in shape--and have a fun time doing so. Run your first 5K, improve your speed and endurance or stay motivated in your walking routine. We focus on interval training to increase cardiovascular fitness levels and maximize metabolism benefits. You'll start right where you are and walk, jog or run your way to a first race or personal record.

We help busy women discover (or rediscover) the path to a lifetime of physical fitness. If you've been searching for the motivation to get your start as a runner, this program is for you!

#MOTRcares:
​Exercise & Your Mental Health

We're excited to introduce #MOTRcares, a campaign sponsored by our friends at PNC Bank focusing on real-life topics that affect our members and keep us from our optimal wellness levels. Our focus this year is mental health. We brought together some experts for a conversation titled: Exercise and Your Mental Health. Sharon McKim, licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy with the PNC Well-Being Center in Pittsburgh, PA, talks about the link between our physical health and our mental health and gives us a great, easy breathing exercise we can do to help decrease anxiety, promote relaxation and positive energy, reduce stress and blood pressure and promote mindfulness.

Meet October's Inspiring Member: Marcia

In May 2020, Marcia Fahnberg, a member of Burnsville/Lakeville Moms on the Run, fainted and woke up without any feeling in her legs. That episode started a long year and a half of hard recovery, determination and positive thinking to get her to walking and running intervals again. 
​
"Her zest for life and for movement is absolutely beautiful," shared Franchise Owner Kim Burggraaf. "You can’t help but find gratitude for those same simple pleasures while in her presence. Movement truly is a gift. Marcia has shown me and so many others the value of fighting for that gift and finding gratitude in the simple existence of something we often take for granted: walking. The phrase “I don’t have to run, I GET to run” has never resonated with more truth."
Coronavirus (COVID -19) - We are committed to the health and safety of all our coaches and members. In-person classes are being conducted as allowed locally with strict safety protocols. As always, we exercise in the safety of the great outdoors! Some locations are offering virtual meet up options and all locations are prepared to make a switch to fully online programming should stay at home orders return.

Moms on the Run has changed my life. It’s a program that works for every individual, whether you can run a minute or 100 minutes. You’re not in competition with anyone. The camaraderie is amazing. I have made such wonderful friends through this group.

I run faster thanks to you! It's been so fun to have a new group of friends to do this with. I have a fabulous circle of women in my life, but none of them live close to me, so it's always been hard to motivate myself to work out. Moms on the Run has been just what I needed, and I feel so much healthier now.

​I’m thoroughly enjoying Moms on the Run … It has been such a life changing experience for me - opening up the world of running and ‘exercising,’ really. Thanks for creating this program for people like us!
