New Running Club for Moms

Moms RUN This Town (MRTT) is a FREE nationwide running club for moms. 

After only a couple of years, Moms RUN This Town is making a strong presence in the running community.  The free 'club' targeting running moms already has local chapters in over 400 cities throughout the United States and Canada. Please note that we use the term "mom" loosely, so from children that are no longer children to teens, infants, and even the furry kind of kids, if you feel like a mom, then you are in our eyes too!

 The club offers online support, inspiration, and encouragement through their blog, Facebook page and Twitter account.  They are known for their giveaways, contests, and fun free events such as virtual races.

 We've recently started a Fox Valley chapter.  We've just started in the last month and we already have over 20 members. As a chapter we establish group run times and places, provide inspiration, encouragement and motivation.  We find local races to run together - and then celebrate their accomplishments after.  There are members of ALL paces from walkers to runners - and they always welcome new runners who are just getting started. 

On their national website, Moms RUN This Town offers tips on how to get started in a running program as well as  product reviews of running gear, giveaways, contests and more.
