MOMS ON THE RUN

Moms on the Run is featured in MN Run Blog! Check it out here. And a big thank you to MN Run Series for featuring us! 

sgobeck! Becky is a coach with Stillwater Moms on the Run, and we love what she wrote in her post, pictured above: "Friends who: laugh with you, get strong with you, let you know you belong are some of the best friends there are. Here we go, MOTR Fall 2018!" She wins a family 4-pack of entries to Chocoholic Frolic, courtesy of Anderson Race Management. Congratulations, Becky! 

There were many great photos to choose from, but not all featured contest hashtags! If you don't use contest hashtags you can't win — and you'll want to win our October prize! October's awesome prize package, courtesy of Scheels, features a personalized shopping experience with a Scheels expert and includes a $300 gift card to use on running gear of your choice as well as a goody bag of running accessories (water bottle, running socks, gu, etc.) We have four great categories: #MOTRonTour, #LoveMyTeam, #PushThrough or #MOTRmemories. And of course, add #MOTRstrong! Click here for more information and contest rules. 

​Kristen Genet, coach for Blaine and Lino Lakes Moms on the Run, calls the North Shore of Minnesota her happy place. Overlooking Lake Superior, the North Shore is home to the Superior Hiking Trail, a 310-mile trail that traverses the Sawtooth Mountain Range from Duluth, MN to the U.S.-Canadian border. For 16 hours, two minutes and thirty seconds, Kristen experienced the highs and lows — 25,000 feet of elevation changes — of those forest trails to complete her biggest challenge to date: the Superior 50 Mile Trail Race. “There was not one moment in the 50 miles I did not enjoy,” Kristen raves. She is a big inspiration to those who know her, and for that, she is our October Inspiring Member of the Month. 

The countdown is on for Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend, Oct. 5-7, when 30,000 runners of all ages and paces will take to the streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul to celebrate health and fitness. 

The Saturday events on Oct. 6 are an awesome experience for kids and family, but they’re also a wonderful occasion to gather your friends for a crisp fall morning group run. 

• With 10K and 5K options — and even the KARE 11 Family Mile — your whole crew can find the run that’s right for them, even brand new runners
• Participants earn a custom Brooks® short-sleeve technical shirts and finisher medals
• You’ll finish your race on the marathon finish line
• Enjoy a generous finish line walk-off and the lively 27th Mile
• Complimentary race photos, presented by Great Clips, to remember the day
• You’ll stride with thousands of other motivated Minnesotans doing something good for themselves 

Minnesota is picture perfect in the fall. Franchise owner and Head Coach Stephanie VanHeel shares the benefits of running with Moms on the Run!
