Together, the combination builds a strong, capable body + mind so you can go the distance, feeling solid and happy, on race day.

December 1-31, 2024 BEST FOR: Anybody and everybody WHAT: A community-wide running program to keep you moving through the time of the year when daylight is in short supply and chaos rings like jingle bells. LENGTH: The 31 days of December Welcome to Joy to the Run, an Another Mother Runner Holiday Challenge! We are so excited to share this (joyful yet hectic) month of December with you. As you likely know from personal experience, the busier your schedule and longer your to-do list gets, the more important it is for you to take time to move. As you also likely know from personal experience, exercise gives us a clear path to a more balanced mind, a more patient perspective, and a chance to feel powerful and present. Which is why we're making this holiday running challenge free to everybody. Momentum, motivation, and inspiration thrive in camaraderie, and we want to make this joyous, sweaty December circle as wide and inclusive as possible. In the spirit of giving, we are including the opportunity to pay it forward with a donation to Still I Run, an organization that aims to assist the one in five Americans who experience a mental health condition in a given year.
Still I Run builds and nurtures a community of individuals dedicated to running for their mental health, encouraging everyone to take time out of their busy day to run or move for mental well-being. They work to promote the benefits of running, or any physical activity, for mental health, provide resources to educate and inspire, and dismantle the stigma surrounding mental illness.
