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!

Message from our Founder, CEO Karissa Johnson

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Moms on the Run is working harder than ever to support our women through these challenging times. While we plan to hit the pavement together as soon as we can, in the meantime we will offer live meet-ups for workouts online, our new training programs and our “virtual happy hours” together. We have an amazing season planned and we are ready to deliver! We’re asking our valued members for their continued trust and support in Moms on the Run to produce quality community and connection opportunities this spring.

​Meet Ronda: July's Inspiring Member of the Month

Ronda Willsher was not a runner before she decided to tackle a 5K for her 60th birthday. Two years and several races later, Ronda is hooked on running — and her entire Burnsville Moms on the Run team is hooked on her. Her sister and MOTR teammate, Molly Wellik, gushes, "My sister Ronda totally inspires me. She makes running a really fun adventure."
Coronavirus (COVID -19) - We are committed to the health and safety of all our coaches and members. Due to the spread of the Coronavirus many locations are offering virtual meet up options during stay at home orders as they apply locally to each of our businesses.

Many of our locations are offering Virtual Training options including live meet-ups for workouts, online happy hour and more.

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.
