MOMS ON THE RUN

It's not too early to begin thinking about our end-of-season challenge. Which Twin Cities franchise will send the most women to our end-of-season celebration events on August 25th? Register now and help your team win. One city will win a night out for their whole team! Plus, get early bird pricing AND $7 off race entry if you register for the banquet and then race by 5/31. RSVP on our Facebook Event page to help spread the word about our big day to your team!

Contest Rules:
One team who has the highest percentage of currently enrolled members signed up for the banquet and race by 8/15 will win, and decide as a team their night-out destination. A gift card will be provided based on the size of the team.

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!

April 12, 2008, is a special date in our history. Moms on the Run was launched 10 years ago today! To celebrate, we've taken many of the photos you submitted for our #LoveMyTeam contest on our Facebook page — at least the ones we could fit — and have compiled them into a special video of your favorite memories. We love seeing your smiling faces, your teams, your dogs, your kids and your hard work — as well as the amazing stories that go with every moment! Thank you for being a special part of our family! Click here to view the video, and watch for a fun surprise at the end!

Tia Moats of Forest Lake Moms on the Run is not only our Most Inspiring Member for April, she also is a founding member of our first Moms on the Run group 10 years ago. In fact, Tia inspired the idea to train for a 5K, and has been a part of Moms on the Run ever since. To learn a little more about Tia's story, we wanted to share a fun Q&A with you.
