Event Description

The Mom's May Day Dash is a powerful celebration of motherhood, fitness, and family connection that transforms a typical Mother's Day into an extraordinary adventure of shared achievement. This unique event invites mothers and children to break free from traditional celebrations, trading sitting for moving, watching for doing, and passive moments for active memories.

At Pace Bend Park, mothers and children will experience a special race that goes beyond competition – it's about connection. Our format allows mothers to start the race, setting a powerful example of strength and determination, then passing the momentum to their children through an energetic high-five that symbolizes support, love, and mutual empowerment.

What makes this event truly special is its inclusive approach. Whether you're a seasoned runner or taking your first athletic steps, our carefully designed race distances ensure every mother-child duo can find their perfect challenge. From short sprints for younger children to more demanding distances for older kids, we've created an environment where every participant feels celebrated.

This isn't just a race – it's a statement. It shows children that fitness is fun, that mothers are powerful, and that the strongest bonds are built through shared experiences. Each participant receives a free digital book, adding an educational twist to the day's excitement and providing a take-home memory of this special moment.

Beyond the race, you're joining a community that believes in the transformative power of active family time. You're showing your children that mothers are inspirational, that movement is a celebration, and that every step taken together builds memories that will last a lifetime.
