MOMS ON THE RUN

Which Twin Cities franchise will send the most of their women to our end-of-season celebration events on August 25th? Register now and help your team win. Our first place franchise will win a night out for their whole team, and new this year, the top three teams will win team challenge tees featuring their city! Plus, early registration will get you the following incentives:

• The commitment you need to stay active in the heat of summer!  Keep your end goal in sight to stay motivated. And don't forget to schedule the party after to celebrate. Our banquet has moved to Saturday night; no work day traffic in sight!
• Our lowest price for the 5k/10k is available through 5/31. Your entry covers your soft performance blend tee, personalized bib, medal, charity contribution, great post-race refreshments and our super fun event atmosphere which includes a live DJ and kids' festival. Don't forget to grab your own kiddos a performance tee by signing them up to run like mom!
• Package savings are available!  Receive $7 off your race entry if you register for the banquet first* and sign up for both events by 6/30. *Your promo code will be on your email receipt.

On your first group run after May 20, the last thing you’ll want to hear someone say is: “It was so much fun! The course was great. The medal was beautiful! The Caribou coffee samples were delicious and my toddler son loved the biscuit at the finish line!”* Because, unless you were running  Twin Cities Orthopedics’ Women Run the Cities, presented by PNC Bank, you’ll know you missed out on something special — namely, an all-women’s celebration of fitness and community that’s as empowering as it is fun.

We often hear of Sunday drives or Sunday family dinners, but Sundays for Cami Stottle and Kayshia Rosenbury — a mother/daughter duo from Missouri — include running together. Cami and Kayshia train together as part of Springfield Moms on the Run. In honor of Mother's Day, they are our Inspiring Members for May!

Running for me has been my life saver, my solitude, my first love, my sanity. Yes there are days I have a love/hate relationship with it, but at the end of the day, it always makes me feel better, gives me confidence and energy, and makes me a better wife and mom. And the best part? I always enjoy my meal after (have I told you I love to eat?) and that to me makes everything worth it!

If you are new to a run/walk program, Moms on the Run wants to help you get started on your journey. Come run or walk with us and we promise you will have a great time!
