On Thursday, May 8, 2025, Ridgefield will host the ASICS “Move Her Mind” event at the Prospector Theater. This empowering evening is spearheaded by Ridgefield Running Company and its founder, Megan Searfoss, in collaboration with ASICS and part of ASICS' nationwide initiative aimed at encouraging women to overcome barriers to exercise and embrace the mental and physical benefits of movement.
Shout-out to the team at the Prospector who brought the event to life with their talented art (just look at the event poster!)
The evening begins at 5:30 PM with a community shakeout run, led by ASICS and special guests, offering participants a chance to engage in physical activity and connect with like-minded individuals. Following the run, at 7:00 PM, attendees will experience a live podcast recording featuring an inspiring panel of women:
- Meghann Featherstun, board-certified sports dietitian and founder of Featherstone Nutrition
- Meaghan Murray, podcaster and Managing Partner of Believe in the Run
- Megan Morant, WWE host
- Makenna Myler, professional runner
This event also serves as a prelude to Ridgefield's "Run Like a Mother" 5K, scheduled for Sunday, May 11, celebrating Mother's Day weekend. The 5K aims to honor the strength and resilience of women, with proceeds supporting local organizations.
