We had several moms running this race as their first half marathon and even more who took home PRs!
About Us
We are a group of mothers in Roxbury, New Jersey and the surrounding area who enjoy supporting each other in an active & healthy lifestyle.
While we do have some later runs occasionally, most of our runs are early morning so that we have some time to get our run in before work, before getting kids up and ready for school, before weekend tournaments, birthday parties, and #momlife in general. We often end our run at a coffee shop or have a coffee tailgate in the park so that we can spend a little time socializing with each other. Taking care of ourselves and filling our cup first allows us to then be more present for our children and family members.
We have women of all difference paces, from walkers to more advanced runners and every pace in between. Coming to group runs is a great way to get connected with like-minded women who make exercise and healthy habits a priority in their lives. Most of our members were strangers to each other when we formed this group in 2024, but have quickly grown to form strong friendships.
The safety of our members is very important to us. This is why all information on our run locations and specific meetup times are only available in our private Facebook and Strava groups.
We use Strava as our main and most reliable way of communicating events, routes, and information. Under our group is where you will be able to see any upcoming runs. Our runs times and days often change seasonally, and Strava will always be the most up-to-date way to find out about them. After downloading the app to your phone, please search for our main "Roxbury Mother Runners" group with the RMR logo and request to be added. Strava is an amazing social networking app for athletes. You'll be able to not only join our club and follow along on the routes we have set for that day's run/walk in realtime, but you'll be able to record your workouts and get data and details on all of your activities!
We have a private Facebook group as a way of communicating with each other, sharing photos, etc.
We are active on Instagram! We post our group photos from every run and race, and we encourage our members to tag us in their stories so we can share their Run Brags and cheer eachother on!
Both of these groups are women-only and our admins and moderators keep watch and vet anyone entering these groups. While we may have events where spouses are welcome to join, only women will be allowed into the actual groups as members! Your privacy and safety are important to us.
