HER Run For Mom
Mother’s day is a special day to show mom just how much we appreciate HER! Since we believe moms should feel this everyday, Here We Run decided to show just how committed we are to loving our moms.
Being a mom can be challenging but everyday they show us their commitment, strength, and love for their role in each of our lives. So, for this Mother’s Day, we took on a challenge of our own. One that would test our own strength, commitment and love in a different way. Beginning May 1, Here We Run hosted a global challenge - HER ‘Run For Mom’.
We all know that running can be a challenge in itself. What about committing to 10 days of running? That’s right, we first asked people from all over the world to commit to either a 5k or 10k run for Mother’s Day but we tested that commitment by putting them through 10 days of running exercises and strength training designed by Coach Bec.
Participants recorded their journey via Instagram, sharing with the world their commitment. Each day we witnessed the strength of our fellow HER members as they completed each daily challenge from wherever they were. After 10 days of running and strength training, they were all ready to take to the streets.
A mother is unique to each of us but HER love for us is worth running to the ends of the Earth for. Over 600 people from HER global community showed that a mother’s love can carry you through any challenge. Many ran solo or with family and friends but ultimately we all finished as a team of 600+ runners for mom.
