Virtual Race Info
What is a virtual race?
A virtual race is a race in which you decide when and where you get to run. People run virtual races for many reasons! Maybe you have a prior commitment at the same time as the in-person race, maybe you want to prove to yourself you can do it (hint: You can!), or maybe you don't like large crowds... whatever the reason, a virtual race is a perfect fit.
This year we ask that you run your 5K anytime between May 5th and Mother's Day May 12, 2024!
You'll also have access to the Run Like a Mother training plans, and the Run Like a Mother Race Community on Facebook, Strava, and Instagram. We can't wait to see your accomplishments!

Description
Virtual 5K Run Like a Mother
The mission of Run Like A Mother is to fuel a woman's journey through health and wellness, empower with education and training programs, inspire with communities, events and races, and enable through programs and partnerships.
Run Like A Mother isn't just a Race, it’s our way of life.
We are every woman, from every walk or run of life, gathering together (virtually) to encourage a healthy lifestyle through moving.
On Mother’s Day weekend, we celebrate who we are and what we do.
Whether you are a mother or not, we understand the importance of modeling healthy behaviors for our future generations.
Most importantly, it is the caring of our own bodies and minds that make us stronger every day.
