Virtual Run Like A Mother 5k

Event Overview

A celebration of women, Run Like A Mother was founded in 2008 by Ridgefield, CT resident, owner of CT RUN CO., and author of See Mom Run: Every Mother’s Guide to Getting Fit and Running Her First 5k, 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 lives.

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 movement.

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 9th and Mother's Day May 11, 2025!
