BEST FOR: Beginner to intermediate runners who have their sights set on a 30K trail run. PREREQS: Have run at least one 10K (road or trail) in the last year; been running or walking consistently for at least 6 months; have a current mileage base of 15 miles/week for at least 8-10 weeks; no injuries, or are on your way to being injury-free—and willing to do the PT work you need to do to stay that way; a nearby trail you can train on at least 1x/week (more is better); time to commit to the running program AND the strength circuits and weekly yoga. NUMBER OF WEEKS: 16 This 16-week program is designed to get you to the starting line of a 30K trail event feeling race-ready and strong. There is quite a bit of elevation work in the training because most trail races have plenty of hills. Even if your race is relatively flat, you will gain strength and speed through lots of climbing. Each week, there are five runs (one is an optional hike); two strength circuits; one yoga session; and one rest day. Together, the combination builds a strong, capable body + mind so you can go the distance, feeling solid and happy, on race day.

BEST FOR: Anybody who wants to run the City of Oaks 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, or Marathon in Raleigh, NC, on November 2, 2025, as part of a team. "Better Together is the only way I want to do races now," proclaimed participant Sarah J. after her 2023 Better Together marathon finish line, and we couldn't agree more. Better Together combines everything that makes Another Mother Runner great: the power of community, a place to show up exactly how—and who—you are, proven training programs, and a collective finish line to celebrate. Whether you want to bring a friend and run the 5K or 10K side-by-side, aim for a PR in the half marathon, or take on your very first 26.2, Better Together turns your training cycle and race day into a team effort. As you train for the distance of your choice, you'll have training buddies (either virtual or IRL), regular team meetings to check-in with your coaches and teammates, and the feeling that you're part of something bigger than the splits on your GPS. Then, we'll gather for a celebratory race experience in Raleigh for Better Together. TRAINING DETAILS 5K: Training begins September 8, 2025 10K: Training begins August 11, 2025 Half Marathon: Training begins July 21, 2025 Marathon: Training begins June 20, 2025 RACE DETAILS: City of Oaks Marathon, November 2, 2025 Select your race distance, then your shirt size (here's the size chart).

BEST FOR: Runners who want to complete multiple events in one weekend. PREREQS: You’ve been running at least 30–45 minutes 3–4 days of the week for at least 8 weeks. You’re injury-free. You don’t need previous experience running by heart rate, but it is helpful if you have run a half-marathon at some point. NUMBER OF WEEKS: 24 TRAINING BEGINS: July 29, 2024
Disney Races are truly magical events. After all, where else can you start under fireworks, kiss Prince Charming, joke around with Donald and Daisy, and Let It Go with Elsa, then cross a finish line and receive some serious bling?
However, two to four finish lines over as many days will not be magical if you are not properly prepared. If you’re slogging through the miles and barely able to muster a smile—let alone a bicep curl—for a shot with Wreck-It-Ralph, your Dopey or Goofy extravaganza will be memorable. Just not for the right reasons. With this 24-week, hands-on program starting on July 29, 2024, we’ve got your back and are laying a white-glove-clad, oversize hand firmly on it. The training plan we’ve created emphasizes both muscular and cardiovascular endurance and time on your feet: keys you’ll need to run every mile with a smile. But it's not all about the running. We'll be sure you're fueling properly for all your long runs. We’ll make sure your hips and glutes, typically the weak spots for most runners, are rock solid. We’ll have some fun too, brainstorming costume ideas and ideas. We'll entertain and educate you with podcasts and newsletters, and, of course, hit race strategies so that you not only enjoy your Dopey or Goofy Challenge, you’ll nearly fly during each mile. The end result? You feel primed and totally ready to run either challenge: The Dopey: 5K, then a 10K, then a half-marathon, then a marathon or the Goofy: a half-marathon then a marathon—no pixie dust required. -

BEST FOR: Anybody who loves AMR and knows something powerful happens when our community comes together for a workout. EVENT DATE: June 6-8, 2025 Ever since Dimity and Sarah ran the Nike Women's Marathon, the seeds were planted for a women's running community. Their training, race experience, and passion for women to carve out time in their busy lives to focus on a running goal led to their first book, Run Like a Mother, which was published in 2010. Fifteen years later, here we are with Another Mother Runner: a worldwide group of dedicated athletes and the mindset of celebrating many happy miles together! Our wish: to come together, in person and virtually, on the weekend of June 6-8, to celebrate the Another Mother Runner community with a massive pile of miles. Whether you've been with us since the early days or just laced up with us recently, this milestone is all about honoring the strength, humor, and heart of every woman runner. Expect joyful throwbacks, fresh gear, epic giveaways, and some surprises that will keep you laughing and inspired. It’s more than a celebration—it’s a love letter to 15 years of running through life together.
