ABOUT OUR STORY
Moms on the Run started in 2008 in Forest Lake, Minnesota, when a group of moms, eager to spice up their post-baby fitness journey, set a bold new goal: training for a 5K. What began as casual meetups in a local park quickly grew into a nationwide movement, helping women find motivation, connection and a lifelong love of running.
