A Full Circle Moment: Run Like a Mother Founder Looks Back and Moves Forward

Happy Run Like a Mother Week!

By Megan Searfoss, Owner and Founder of CT RUN CO and Run Like a Mother

Twenty-five years ago, I encouraged my friends to train with me for the Chicago Half-Marathon. We ran through baby’s first steps and sleepless nights, supporting each other every step of the way. We took turns watching each other’s kids just so we could fit our runs in — because we knew how much it mattered.

Running was essential to me then, just as it is now. It’s woven into the fabric of my life — giving me time for myself, helping me process life’s pivotal moments, and providing the space to laugh and cry with friends at 140 beats per minute.

In 2008, I founded Run Like a Mother to share my love for that incredible moment: the feeling of standing at the start line full of possibility, and the triumph — sometimes through discomfort — of crossing the finish line, a little stronger, a little tougher, and a lot more proud.

A Full-Circle Moment

This year brought a milestone I’ll never forget: I had the honor of running the Boston Marathon alongside my youngest child, Jane, who raised nearly $20,000 for Boston Children’s Hospital. Watching her cross that iconic finish line was one of the proudest moments of my life — something I will treasure forever.

So, when ASICS offered to bring the Move Her Mind Tour to Ridgefield, my answer was an immediate yes.

The More Women Move, the Better They Feel.
