Welcome to Chanhassen Moms on the Run!

Stop thinking you could never be a runner and start believing that you can achieve your fitness goals! Moms on the Run can help. We’re not a run club. We’re an instructor-led fitness program with coaching to motivate, educate and encourage you on your journey. You’ll make new friends, find accountability and have fun while working toward a healthier lifestyle.

We welcome all women, all ages and all fitness levels. We offer programming for walkers to beginning runners to experienced runners. Walkers will be encouraged to follow an interval training schedule designed to maximize their fitness levels. Our “learn to run” program begins with mostly walking and gradually transitions to more jogging. Experienced runners will be challenged to improve their times and endurance. We also offer a great selection of additional strength and cardio training formats.

Our Current Program

 18-WEEK SIGNATURE TRAINING PROGRAM 

Our signature 18-week training program lets you attend classes from 1 to 3 times per week. We strongly recommend choosing an interval class at least once a week, which includes a higher level of structure and support.

INTERVAL TRAINING

In 30 minutes of cardiovascular interval training, women will start at their own pace of walking and/or running and progress throughout the season. New runners will work towards the goal of a first 5k race to conclude the season, and experienced runners will focus on improving speed and fitness. ​

STRENGTH TRAINING

A short strength training component 12-15 minutes is part of each interval training class, followed by stretching and education. Learn about injury prevention, healthy running tips and more.

ENDURANCE RUNS

​We offer weekly steady paced cardio workouts with an option to focus on gradually increasing mileage to 10k or more, or to get in an additional interval workout. A 10k race option is available at the end of our season.

Meet our Coaches

Kate Walton
Owner/HEad Coach

I am a former elementary school teacher with three awesome kids at home – Brady (10), Allie (7), and Macie (almost 4).  I graduated from the University of Minnesota (go Gophers!) where I competed on the varsity rowing team.
 
I started running 15 years ago as I wanted to compete in triathlons (having been a swimmer growing up). Running was my weakest leg, and I really didn't enjoy it.  What really helped was finding a great group of people to run with.  I learned that running with others was FUN and really helped the miles go by quick- and the accountability piece was key!  I learned that the "runner's high" is real and it quickly became my go-to form of exercise.   Through my journey as a runner, I have made so many lifelong friends and have had some incredible experiences, including two marathons and 5 Ragnar relays all in different states.

As a coach at Moms on the Run, I get to share my passion for teaching and my love of running with others. There is nothing better than to see the women in MOTR push themselves and meet goals they once thought were impossible.  The friendships made and fun we've had, are the icing on the cake!  

  

Heather O'Neill
Assistant Coach

My name is Heather and I am looking forward to my second season of MOTR and my new role of volunteer coach. I started running in my 30s so that I could complete a triathlon. I ultimately learned to enjoy running enough to have completed a marathon. What I love most about running is that all you need is a pair of running shoes and a step out the door.

I joined MOTR last year after struggling to take time for myself to workout after becoming a mother. I found MOTR to be a perfect fit for me as I was finally able to commit to a fitness program ... and it led me to a PR in last Fall’s Twin Cities 10-Mile.

​I live in Chanhassen with my husband, 5 year old son, and 3 year old daughter.

JEn Swanson
Assistant Coach

I am a busy mom of 2 girls, Hannah (13) and Loren (11), wife of a traveling husband, work as an Occupational therapist and am a wellness advocate.  

I didn’t start running until I was in my mid-thirties and found 30-40 minutes of time while my kids were at a class or practice and running was the easiest and most convenient way to exercise. I soon fell in love and very slowly worked on increasing distance, strength and endurance.

​Mom’s on the Run has been the most enjoyable group exercise I have participated in.  It is a perfect balance of fun and sweat.  I love getting to know like minded women who care about their health and each other.
