Moms RUN This Town hitting 300 members!

Not much more than a year ago, the Champlin/Maple Grove chapter of Moms RUN This Town (MRTT) was just starting to gain momentum. We had under 50 members and were still sorting out exactly how we wanted the group to take shape.

Fast forward to today - we have developed an incredible group of nearly 300 members. We meet several times per week in the warmer months, and 1-2 times per week even in the colder months. We range from newer runners or hopeful future runners to very experienced runners. We have ladies who walk, ladies who jog, ladies who run. Some go a 7 min/mi pace, others go a 13 min/mi pace. Some are on hiatus due to injuries or pregnancies. Some find their motivation through active participation in group runs, others find motivation through seeing members posting their achievements in our private, closed Facebook group. The BEST thing about MRTT is that it can be utilized in whatever way suits your needs and preferences...all for free!

If you are a local woman who runs (or who wants to start), we encourage you to check us out. You truly have nothing to lose - but SO MUCH to possibly gain. I have personally made some amazing friendships and met some incredible women through the group. For many of us, it's not "just" a running group - it's more like a bunch of incredibly supportive friends who also happen to run. And we are ALWAYS excited for new faces to join us!

All you have to do to be a part of MRTT Champlin/Maple Grove is request to join our private, closed Facebook group. It's that easy, and it might just change your life!
