Moms RUN This Town Receiving Awesome Feedback from Members!

An update on the rapid growth of Moms RUN This Town in the Maple Grove area and some basic information for those who may not have heard of it yet!

Moms RUN This Town (MRTT), a national running club with nearly 500 chapters nationwide, has started an active chapter in the Maple Grove area. In a matter of just a couple of months, the group has gained incredible momentum. As of today, we are up to 43 members. Good things spread fast, and that certainly has been the case with the Maple Grove/Champlin chapter of MRTT.

The group is very open and accomodating - welcoming women of any age, fitness level or running experience. It truly does not matter if you have not run a day in your life yet, if your pace is "slow", or if you are super fast and run marathons on a regular basis. No matter what, there is a place for you. Do not worry about being "too slow" or "too inexperienced" for the group. You will NOT be holding anybody back. There truly are women of every level already in the group and chances are you, will find others in the exact same boat as yourself, and make some awesome friends at the same time!

In addition, MRTT is very member-driven and laid back. The group is what you want to make of it. You can participate actively in our regular group runs and other activities (so far, we have done a couple of breakfasts, but girl's night out is definitely in our future as well). Or, maybe you just want to utilize our Private Facebook page for tips, advice, info on upcoming races, etc. Perhaps you are not necessarily looking to run in a group, but would like to find a nearby running buddy or two to meet up with occasionally. MRTT is perfect no matter how involved you are looking to be - and the best part is that it's free. You literally have NOTHING to lose by at least trying it out!
