🙋‍♀️ WE NEED YOU! 🙋‍♀️

Our 13th Annual Moms on the Run 5K + Kids Run is almost here, and it takes an amazing crew of volunteers to make race day happen! 🏃‍♀️🎉

If you’re not running this year (or you just love being part of the action!), come join us behind the scenes and help make the day extra special for our runners, kiddos and MOTR community. ❤️

There are a variety of volunteer shifts available, and you can even sign up for more than one as long as the times don’t overlap!

AND because helping out deserves a little something extra... 👀🛍️

✨ RACE DAY VOLUNTEERS GET 20% OFF ALL MERCHANDISE!*✨

We truly couldn’t pull off this event without our volunteers, and we are SO grateful for everyone who gives their time to help make race day amazing. 💕

Whether you're already registered or still thinking about it, we'd love to know if this will be your first MOTR 5K!

🎉 One lucky commenter will be randomly selected to receive a FREE race entry! Winners will be announced in the comments of that national post.

⭐ Bonus Entry: Tag a friend who's also never participated in the MOTR 5K, and you'll BOTH earn an extra entry!

Have a fun, safe holiday, and if you're getting in some miles today, let us know where you're running from! 🇺🇸🏃‍♀️

🍕 Hey, Team! We've got a challenge for you... and there's PIZZA involved! 🍕

If more than 50% of our enrolled members register for the MOTR 5K (either in person or virtually), our location wins a pizza party at class this fall! 🎉🍕

No pressure... but we're not saying this is the most delicious motivation ever. 😏

Already signed up? Awesome! Know someone who's been thinking about it? Give them a little nudge with a tag here so we can earn that pizza party together!

Happy Global Running Day! 🎉🏃‍♀️💜💚

Today we’re celebrating every mile, every interval, every run/walk, every sweaty summer jog, and every single person who chooses to keep showing up. ☀️

Whether you’re running 1 mile, 10 miles, chasing a new goal, or just getting out the door today… it counts. And we’re so glad you’re part of this amazing Moms on the Run community. 💜

Global Running Day is tomorrow! 🌎🏃‍♀️💜💚

Global Running Day is a worldwide celebration of movement, community, and the joy of running - no matter your pace, distance, or experience level. It’s a day to celebrate what running gives us: strength, confidence, community, stress relief, laughter, growth, and connection.

We might be a teeny tiny bit bias, but we think the Moms on the Run community represents the absolute BEST part of the running world! Women showing up for themselves and each other, cheering one another on (cowbells included!), and proving that fitness can be joyful, welcoming, and fun.

Check with your local Moms on the Run location to see how they’ll be celebrating tomorrow! (Spoiler alert: it will probably involve a run. 😅)

And PLEASE take lots of pictures! We can’t wait to see your smiling faces on the GRD post on our national page tomorrow!
