2018 #MOTRstrong Instagram Contest

Being part of Moms on the Run is so much more than belonging to a running group. Your MOTR teammates become your family. Your running journey becomes an adventure. And we want to see your photos of that adventure this summer!

​We've brought back our #MOTRstrong contest once again to challenge you to share what makes you feel connected, confident and STRONG this summer! We want to see your Instagram posts this season showcasing your most meaningful moments with Moms on the Run for a chance to win some great prizes from our partners.

#MOTRstrong Categories
We’ve got four great categories that are meaningful to our signature 18-week training experience. Every time you take a photo of one or more of these categories and post them to Instagram with #MOTRstrong and #momsontherun and the category hashtag, you enter the contest. One winner will be announced at the end of each month June through September. We’ll also highlight winning entries on our Facebook page.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• #MOTRonTour: We know you're taking your runs and MOTR gear with you this spring and summer. Show us where to! We want to see those palm trees, landmarks, skylines, or anything new you're able to experience during a workout or race away from your usual trails.
• #LoveMyTeam: Your teammates inspire you. They cheer you up when you’re having a bad day (or bad run). They make you laugh so hard that you snort water out of your nose. Share photos that show us why you love your teammates, even if you couldn’t possibly fit all of them in one photo.
• #PushThrough: Whether you encounter injury-related setbacks, or a bad day, or challenges of a completely different type, we want to see what keeps you going. We want to see what motivates you to stick with your goals!
• #MOTRmemories: How about capturing your pre-workout determination or post-workout pride? Or even just the fun spirit of your moments with your best runner friends (BRFs)? Anything goes and we look forward to seeing your favorite training moments this summer.

If you’re not on Instagram we would love to have you join the conversation anyway by posting with these hashtags to Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest!
