Run Like A Mother® Announces the Launch of Its 7th Annual National Running Program

RIDGEFIELD, Conn., March 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- National organization Run Like A Mother® announces the launch of its 2014 program. A celebration of women, Run Like A Mother was founded in 2008 by Ridgefield, Conn., resident and certified personal trainer, coach and author Megan Searfoss. Since its start, Run Like A Mother has encouraged more than 20,000 women in all stages of motherhood (pre, new and veteran) across the country to make running a part of their life.

Each race market will include a charity partnership that allows participants to donate to directly support the community.

No fitness routine is too small; it's all about feeling good about yourself," says Searfoss. "It gives women an opportunity to be a part of an event that helps them meet their fitness goals while giving back to the community."

This year, Run Like A Mother launched its own expert panel of industry leaders positioned to provide key insights and education to brand supporters and race participants.
