Enter in a global health pandemic — experts predict COVID-19's impact will leave 265 million on the brink of starvation this year — and you have an even bigger problem. Since our inception, Moms on the Run has chosen to donate 10% of our profits to our charity partner, Feed My Starving Children. This year, Moms on the Run is proud to sponsor the Race to Feed Kids, Sept. 21-26, encouraging families to outrun 2020 and step in the gap against global hunger. You can be a part of the race by creating a fundraising page here, choosing your activity goal and recruiting family and friends to join you. Your "race" can be any activity you want: run, bike, do chores, rake leaves. This event takes the place of FMSC's annual in-person fundraising gala. Join us in the Race to Feed Kids.

If you have run Women Run the Cities before, you have an idea of the general route. Perhaps you're running a new route this year. As is the case with any race, it’s important to map your route. In addition, think about things that make the run a bit easier: Have your own hydration stations, know where your bathroom or porta potty stops are along your route and get a few people to cheer you on throughout the course.
There's still time to take part in this year's Women Run the Cities virtual race. Run now anytime through Sept. 20. Click here for more details. As the official training partner for Women Run the Cities, Moms on the Run has another training tip for our women who are running the virtual race. Long gone are the days when you run until exhaustion and then walk home. Include walk intervals in your training. This is an ideal way to build endurance and reduce your risk of injury. Be strategic about putting in 30-second, 1- or 2-minute walking breaks into your plan. You'll run more miles and feel less soreness, while also experiencing the metabolism-boosting benefits of interval training. Tie up those laces and follow the training plan Moms on the Run has put together for you!
The virtual Twin Cities Orthopedics’ Women Run the Cities, presented by PNC Bank, is available Thursday, September 10 - Sunday, September 20, 2020. |
