MOMS ON THE RUN

Congratulations to all the runners who participated in Twin Cities Marathon on Oct. 6! We had more than 200 women participate in our marathon and 10-mile training programs, designed by our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson. We hope all that awesome training helped you to crush your goals!

Thank you to our runners who  joined us at our cheer station along Summit Avenue and those who volunteered at our booth at the TCM Expo.

​Sore throat, runny nose, and a headache that won’t quit? As a mom with a busy schedule, we're willing to guess that you weren't expecting these symptoms.
