[December 1, 2025]
For 15 years, Another Mother Runner has been the place where we’ve shared miles, stories, sweat, laughter, tears, and, yes, plenty of TMI moments.
As we grew, this fabulous community of women who believe in moving forward and lifting one another up also grew deep, deep roots. This is a place where women want the best for themselves and for each other. Creating—and being part of—this space has been one of the greatest privileges of our lives.
Yet every run has a finish, and we’ve decided it’s time for this one to come to an end. Reaching this decision was harder for us than running the last 10K of a marathon at a steady pace. We weighed myriad factors, including our personal goals and needs, the current business climate, and, most of all, our deep attachment to all of you.
This isn’t goodbye though.
One thing we know for sure: Endings lead to meaningful new beginnings. Both Sarah and Dimity have plenty of miles left in their strong legs, and you can continue to move forward with both of us in many ways.
Dimity is offering a refreshed Many Happy Miles as a stand-along program, which is now open for registration on a brand new website.
She’ll also offer three in-person hiking and biking programs in 2026. In addition, she will spend next year promoting The 27th Mile, her new book about phasing out of your running years.

Sarah hopes to continue with an updated version of AMR. We’re in conversation with a women-centric brand that’s interested in continuing the podcasts, running programs, and possibly more.
We’ll know within the next few months whether that partnership will move forward.

And finally, Cathy Engstrom, who has been a driving force in keeping AMR running for six years, will continue writing a version of the Sunday Rest Day newsletter, as she has for the past 4.5 years.

During the month of December, we will approach the finish line. Here’s what that looks like:

SOCIAL MEDIA
Our Facebook and Instagram accounts will no longer be woman’d after December 31. Our YouTube Channel will not be updated, but it will continue to host videos that are currently available.
NEWSLETTER
Our tri-weekly newsletter will stop today. That said, you can subscribe to Sunday’s Rest Day newsletter below, and we will also be sending a few more reminder emails this month as we close things down.
From the bottom of our mother-runner hearts, a gigantic thank you. Whether we met in person, through earbuds, or in a Facebook thread, we are forever grateful for every step we’ve shared over the past 15 years.
With so much love, forward motion, and sweat–
Dimity + Sarah
