Portland Mother’s Day- Run Like a Mother 5K & Kids Race

Run Like A Mother® is an inspiring, celebratory event involving the entire family that engages women at every stage of a woman’s life. We are a community of women joined together by the power of running who share a desire to live healthy, balanced lives. We offer support, motivation, inspiration and education. Through merchandising and a variety of communication touch points, the Run Like A Mother mission extends beyond race day.

The mission of Run Like A Mother is to fuel a woman’s journey toward health and wellness. Empower with education and training programs. Inspire with communities, events and races. Enable through programs and partnerships

National organization Run Like A Mother announces its 2015 5K race in Portland. Runners will experience a scenic closed course run in beautiful Cook Park in Tigard on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 10. Participants, along with family and friends, will enjoy a post-race party featuring live entertainment.

This year, Run Like A Mother Portland is proud to support the Northwest Mother’s Milk Bank. Northwest Mother’s Milk Bank is proud to be the only non-profit human milk bank in the Pacific Northwest. Their mission is to collect, pasteurize and distribute donor human milk for medical needs. Their values guide the work that they do; community, health, compassion, integrity and generosity.

Race participants will 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 will be available after online registration closes.
