At this time, spectators will not be allowed. Based on current health guidelines, we will decide in early August whether to allow spectators and whether to offer an in-person kids' run on site. We encourage you to choose virtual kids' run packages for the time being and will keep you posted on whether we will be able to have the kids present at the event.

 Course Information - Map updates TBD
Race-Day Parking
Parking is available at three lots at Lake Phalen, with the pavilion event lot spaces being available first come first serve. Do not park in the golf course lot.

Social Distancing
The path at Lake Phalen is wide which will provide plenty of space for social distancing during the run. Participants are asked to run single file, on the right side of the path and when passing a slower participant, should shout “passing on your left.” The participant will pass, leave six feet, and then merge right.

Your Safety is Our Priority
We reserve the right to make any modifications to our event operations in order to promote the safety and well-being of our runners, volunteers and staff.  We reserve the right to modify start times, require distancing, and require face coverings in certain areas of the event off the race course.  Our current plan is that spectators will not be allowed and attendance will be limited to race participants only.  All plans are subject to change based on current state and local health guidelines.

Our Partner Charity
A portion of proceeds will go to our favorite local charity with worldwide impact, Feed My Starving Children! Learn more at www.fmsc.org. Proceeds will also go to other charity organizations helping to support our event with volunteers, as applicable.
Award Certificates

​Refund Policy
There will be no refunds for any reason. 

Contact angela@momsontherun.com by 8/17 to arrange a change to your registration such as: distance changes, transfer race registration to another runner, or switching between virtual and in-person (subject to capacity limits). There will be an administrative fee ($10-$15) applied to these requests.

Offering your bib to an unregistered participant is not allowed due to legal and liability concerns as well as that fact that it could affect age category results for all participants such as resulting in the rightful winners not receiving their earned prize.
