Virtual LIVE  Mother's Day 5k

Saturday, May 8, 2021 at 8:00 a.m. CDT
Join us as we celebrate moms during our first virtual LIVE Mother's Day race: Celebrate MOMS 5K. We've partnered with Charge Running once again to put on a national event that is open to everyone, not just Moms on the Run! We have great swag items for men and kids too, and we welcome and encourage you to make this a fun event for the whole family.

You will participate in our 5K virtual race at a location of your choice while running simultaneously with all racers via the Charge Running App (a GPS-capable app on your iPhone or Android device). During the race, you will experience live commentary from our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, and you can track your progress in the race alongside others on the leaderboard. Your race will end when you reach the 5K distance on your device.

Our Last Virtual Live Race

I loved that I felt like I was at the finish line the whole race. I enjoyed listening to the announcers naming the different finishers as they crossed the finish line along with listening to all the music. It was so much fun compared to not listening to anything or even listening to your own music. It kept you more motivated and a part of the whole race. I wish every race (not just virtual) gave you this option.

If you can't make the May 8 event you can still purchase a race package and run on your own. The event will be available via Charge Running on demand through July!
