Our Story
Run Like A Mother isn’t just a race, it’s a way of life.
We are women of all ages, backgrounds, and paces, coming together, whether in person or virtually, to support and inspire one another through movement. At our core, we believe in the power of community and the importance of living a healthy, active lifestyle.
Each Mother’s Day, we celebrate not only what we do, but who we are.
Whether you’re a mother or not, we recognize the impact we have as role models for future generations. By taking care of our bodies and minds, we grow stronger every day—and encourage others to do the same.
