Moms on the Run was founded in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, where the average temperature during December hovers at 16 degrees Fahrenheit. Yes, winter is part of our DNA.

For nearly all of the Moms on the Run locations (Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Michigan and New York), this is the time of year when we’re forced to make that very tough decision. Treadmill, run in the cold, or stick to cross-training? For those of us who can’t bear to shelve the running shoes for too long, that leaves just two options.
