Virtual LIVE  Mother's Day 5k

Our first annual race was a success!
On May 8, 2021 we held our first annual Celebrate MOMS 5K. We partnered with Charge Running to put on a national that was designed to celebrate and have fun with the whole family.

Limited Quantities!

We still have limited quantities of race swag. Our youth size "I Love my Mom on the Run" shirt features a bright orange 100% poly fabric with white and green text.

Our loose fit, flow-y style race shirt features a heather blue performance blend fabric with race logo. This light weight shirt is moisture wicking making it great for workouts but cute enough for casual wear as well. With the purchase of the race shirt, you'll also get an instant download to access an on-demand recording of the race. You'll get a race day experience as you listen to the commentary during the race from our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson.

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.

How to Participate

On race day runners will choose their location but run simultaneously via the Charge Running App. Runners will participate live with this GPS-capable app on an iPhone or Android device. Your code to access the event on the Charge App will arrive in your virtual event bag. You will experience live coaching and can view your progress in the race alongside others on the leaderboard. Your race will end when you reach the 5K distance on your device.

Kids Run
The kids' run is not timed or conducted live. You may choose any age-appropriate distance to challenge your kids. We recommend a "dash" for toddlers and preschoolers, a quarter mile for ages 5-7, a half mile for ages 8-11, and a mile for 12+.

Weather Information
The Celebrate MOMS 5K will be held rain or shine. Due to national participation in our event, we will not be canceling due to severe weather. Take care to dress for the weather conditions and please do not participate in dangerous conditions, including but not limited to excessive heat advisories, heavy rain and lightning. In the case of severe weather in your area, please join our event 'on demand' at your convenience through the Charge Running app.
Event Swag 
5K entries include a registration gift TBD (last year, we had choice of silicone wine glass or pint glass), finisher’s medal, and printable race bib. Kids Run entries include an "I Love My Mom on the Run" t-shirt, finisher's ribbon, and printable race bib.

1st place prizes and 1st-3rd place honorable mentions will be awarded in seven age categories for the 5K.

Wait... prizes? How will that work for a virtual run?
The Charge Running app will measure your distance and determine your place via the GPS and health tracking capabilities of your device. Please consider our event prizes for what they are — just for fun! There is nothing 'fair' about competing in differing climates, conditions, altitudes or terrains! If you wish to be competitive in this event, we recommend choosing the flattest, fastest course you can. :-)
