Run Like A Mother Inspires Twin Cities Women With Launch of Annual 5K Race

National organization Run Like A Mother® announces its 2015 5K race in Twin Cities. Participants will experience a run with views of Lake Phalen, along the scenic metropolitan region built around the Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix rivers on Saturday, May 9.

Run Like A Mother Twin Cities is proud to support the Deborah E. Powell Center for Women’s Health. The Powell Center for Women’s Health was designated as an Academic Center of Excellence in Women’s Health by the Office of Women’s Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The National Centers of Excellence in Women’s Health serve as national models to provide innovative, comprehensive and multidisciplinary health care for women. They strive to improve health and initiate significant changes in health care for all women, including women in underserved and minority communities.

Race participants have a number of unique opportunities to support this important community charity. Runners can make a donation when they register for the race, or they can choose to purchase a special charity registration, which includes race entry, specialized Run Like A Mother bib, merchandise and more.

A celebration of women, Run Like A Mother was founded in 2008 by Ridgefield, CT resident and certified personal trainer, coach and author Megan Searfoss. Since its start, Run Like A Mother has encouraged more than 25,000 women in all stages of motherhood (novice, new and experienced) across the country to make running a part of their life.

“Through Run Like A Mother, women everywhere can feel motivated and inspired to get on their feet and keep exercising,” said Searfoss. “The race gives women an opportunity to be a part of something that helps them meet their fitness goals while giving back to the community.”

Registration is currently open for the race and six-week training program. Race day registration is available after online registration closes. Additional information on the race, training, and charity partner can be found at www.runlikeamother.com. Join us on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
