Since they started in 2008, they have celebrated over 20,000 women who have made running a part of their life. This Mother’s Day, I can’t think of a better thing to do than add my name as one of those women celebrating their 5K in our very own Portland area!
This race has one of the best tagline mottos too “ Run Like a Mother Isn’t Just a Race, It’s Our Way of Life”.
