Welcome to Eden Prairie 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. And we make it FUN! 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 through our brand new intermediate and advanced training programs this year designed by our new Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson! We also offer a great selection of additional strength and cardio training formats throughout the year.

Melissa Engelsen
Franchise Owner

Welcome Melissa!  Eden Prairie Moms on the Run is now locally owned and operated as of January 2019. 
​
Melissa is so excited to be part of this amazing community of supportive, strong, driven women who are enthusiastic about their fitness. What she loves most about Moms on the Run is that it is for everyone, no matter your fitness level. Starting a fitness journey can be intimidating, but there is no better place to start than with Moms on the Run!

Melissa began to run occasionally in 2014, and since then she has discovered that running and fitness are her “happy place.” She now runs 15-20 miles a week!  Melissa is married and a mother to 4 girls. When she's not taking care of her family, working or running, you can usually find her volunteering at one of her kids’ schools. She also enjoys reading, cooking, movies, travel, board games and spending time with her family.

Patty Bennington
Winter Head Coach

Patty has been running since 2015. After years of trying and failing with solo running programs, she came to a trial run with the Eden Prairie Moms on the Run group. She instantly knew she had found her place. She signed up for the spring session that day. In the beginning, she couldn't run more than two minutes, but in 6 short months she ran a half marathon!
​
Since joining Moms on the Run she has run several 5ks, 10ks, one 10 miler and one half marathon. Patty says she has learned that you don’t have to be ultra fit, or “look” like a runner, or be fast to be a runner. You don’t even have to run the entire time... you just have to show up and put one foot in front of the other.
​
Moms on the Run was exactly what she needed to realize her goal of becoming a runner and she is so thankful for the program and the friends she has made.
