WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START RUN MUMMY RUN?
After having my second child in 2012, I was struggling to get out and run: my husband often worked late and I couldn’t get to my local running club in the evenings. I really missed meeting other like-minded runners, so I started a Facebook group for myself and two friends, and things grew from there. Our community welcomes women of any ability who’d like to gain support, encouragement and motivation – being a mother isn’t essential, in fact many of our members aren’t mums. Our ethos is based on kindness, so it’s a wonderful place to find friendships, build confidence and enjoy all the good things running has to offer.
