What to Expect When You Join Moms RUN This Town

So you finally decide to try it out - why not, you have nothing to lose, after all! There is no formal sign up process, no registration fee or membership dues. You only have to request to join our closed, private Facebook Group. You do not have to live in Champlin or Maple Grove to join our chapter - moms/women from any nearby city are welcome to join.

What can you expect once your membership has been approved? What opportunities are there?

You will be welcomed by chapter leaders right away, and have the opportunity to post a little intro (if you want) and read other member intros.

View photos, information and see all of our upcoming events, such as group runs (currently we have regular ones scheduled 2x per week), social outings, and races that several members are attending.

When new events are planned, you will automatically receive the invitation.

Post questions, ask for advice, answer questions or give advice.

Make suggestions for the group, whether it be things you would like to see added to the blog, a new day/time you would like to see regular runs going on, activities including volunteer work you think would be fun to do as a group...anything at all. This group is largely member-driven so we encourage all members to chime in any time with ideas, suggestions or concerns they have.

Find out if there is anybody near you, at a similar level that might want to meet up to run/walk sometime.

Order MRTT gear (like tech shirts). This is not at all required, but the opportunity has been made available due to popular demand.

Be a part of publicity events, such as an upcoming photoshoot for an article in Maple Grove magazine, or the recent session we recorded for a segment on Channel 12 news. We are growing rapidly, thanks in part to opportunities such as these, and it is important to keep spreading the word so that more moms have the chance to be a part of it!

Best of all - You can do as much or as little of the above as you want, and utilize the group in whatever way fits your current needs and wishes.

And, as a little side note - we are now approaching 80 members...some walk, some run. Some run slow, some run fast. Some are doing C25k. Some are training for their billionth marathon. Bottom line? Good news travels fast.
