Chicago Marathon mother runner
Both Sarah and I are hitting the road this week, and we wanted to be sure you knew about it if you’re anywhere i the neighborhood:

Chicago Marathon

Friday, October 9
9 am-8 pm: Another Mother Runner Booth at Chicago Marathon Expo, Booth 244, near Lexus
Sarah and Jonna, along with a handful of other awesome mother runners, will be in the booth, ready to calm your pre-race jitters, listen to your stories, and show you our latest merchandise, including the limited edition Chicago Marathon sweatshirts, tees, and trucker hats.

Saturday, October 10
7:30 am-8:30 am: Shake-Out Run for all Mother Runners
Renaissance Chicago Hotel, 1 West Upper Wacker Drive

Shake out your legs–and any pre-race jitters–with a fun gathering of mother runners for a group run! The posse will meet in the hotel lobby, then run about 1.5 miles to Buckingham Fountain and back. All paces welcome, and you can run shorter or longer. And no need to be running Chicago Marathon–this is an all mother runner meet-up!

We will be handing out sweet swag–PRO Compression socks and Saucony tees–while supplies last. Run will be lead by our right-hand gal, Jonna Bass Parr, but SBS might swing by to say hi. (She’s got a Saucony event, otherwise she’d be by your side!)

Bring along some running pals or attend solo: We know you’ll have a great time!

Please RSVP here for the Shake-Out Run so we know approximately how many women to expect.

9 am-6 pm: Another Mother Runner Booth at Chicago Marathon Expo, Booth 244, near Lexus
Jonna and Sarah, along with some great local BAMRs, will still be in the booth, still ready to calm your pre-race jitters, talk about your injuries, and show you our latest merchandise, including the limited edition Chicago Marathon sweatshirts, tees, and trucker hats.
