Gearing up to Run Like A Mother!
BMW of Ridgefield was buzzing today with Run Like A Mother (RLAM) athletes who were picking up their race day packets! If you didn't have a chance do so today, you can head to re Ancona's Market tomorrow where RLAM volunteers are standing by- ready to give you all of your race day goodies.
Picking up their race day packets today at BMW of Ridgefield were Ridgefielders Marsha Turek and her daughters, Rachael and Emily (pictured) who are all very excited to be running on Mother's Day. Marsha placed in last year's RLAM 5K.
"We will have about 2,000 athletes," RLAM founder, Megan Searfoss, said. "That means, when families arrive at Ballard Park at the end of the race, we'll have close to 5,000 people," added Searfoss.
If you haven't yet registered, you still can Run Like A Mother (RLAM) by registering online here or at Ancona's Market tomorrow.
