 April 12, 2023 marks the 15-year anniversary of Moms on the Run. It's been an incredible run (literally) for our founder, Karissa Johnson, and the thousands of women who have intentionally given our "fitness, fun and friendship" a try.
Fifteen years ago, Karissa was simply a young, busy mom — with three kids under the age of 4 — trying to fit in her workouts. What started in a park in small town Forest Lake, Minnesota, has now grown to 48 locations in seven states. To celebrate, read on for more of our conversation with Karissa about Moms on the Run — past, present and future!  Lakeville/Burnsville Moms on the Run Franchise Owner and Head Coach, Kim Burggraaf, was recently invited to share her story with The Faces of Lakeville. Writer Annie Collins shares:
"Once you start reading this story, you will quickly understand why Kim Burggraaf, franchise owner of Lakeville Moms On The Run, was nominated to be featured as one of The Faces of Lakeville. Kim is one of the most genuine people in our community who is easily inspired by others ... however, SHE is the one that truly inspires so many around her. After talking with her for just a few minutes, I immediately felt like I have known her for awhile! Her story on how she ended up as franchise owner for both Lakeville & Burnsville Moms on the Run is a good one. It felt like it was all meant to be!" We are so proud of Kim and all of her hard work she puts in to build her Moms on the Run community in Lakeville and Burnsville. "I feel so honored to have been nominated - what a fun surprise that was!" exclaims Kim. "Big thanks to the community member that nominated me and to Amy at The Faces of Lakeville for taking time to share our story!" Check out Coach Kim's story! When our CEO and Founder, Karissa Johnson, started a fitness group at a park in her small town, she never dreamt it would lead to a nation-wide franchise business model. Karissa and Moms on the Run were featured in FranchiseWire in an article about moms who have created franchises to help other moms provide for themselves and their families. Read more here!

If you haven’t heard of plogging, it is a combination of running, jogging and picking up garbage. In honor of Earth Day, Lakeville/Burnsville Moms on the Run chose to plog during their morning run — and they were literally rewarded with a surprise! Franchise Owner Kim Burggraaf found a $100 bill in the woods as her MOTR group was picking up garbage. They plan to donate to a local environmental group. What a fun full circle moment!
