Twice a week for seven weeks, trained volunteer coaches lead an elementary or middle school team through practice. Designed to amplify confidence, self-expression, and respect for others. Each fall and spring season culminates in a 5k race festival that celebrates the boys’ personal growth.

    Please join us in supporting maternal mental health on Sunday, May 10th, 2026 (Mother’s Day!) at the Westerville Sports Complex in Westerville, Ohio, for our 3rd Annual Mom Day 5k, 10k + Kiddo Dash! A gathering for all of “mom kind” and those affected by pregnancy struggles (miscarriages, stillbirths, hyperemesis gravidarum, infertility, and beyond) as well as postpartum struggles (anxiety, depression, isolation, and beyond). Family members, caregivers, fur moms, and ALL of humankind are welcomed and encouraged to join us! A portion of the proceeds raised will be donated to POEM Ohio (Perinatal Outreach and Encouragement for Moms), which offers support, resources, referrals, and a sense of community to help moms and birthing persons in Ohio feel heard, understood, and empowered. You don’t have to be a mom to join us! We welcome all runners, walkers, joggers, and community members to come out and enjoy a special morning together.

    Did you know postpartum depression and other mental health conditions are the most common complications of pregnancy and childbirth? More than 30% of new moms & birthing persons experience them, according to POEM. We get to change this, one stride at a time. It's worth every mile to join us for this worthy cause.

    Post-Race Celebration of Motherhood

    Stick around after the race for our Celebration of Motherhood Village! Several local small businesses and nonprofits will be showcasing what they do for our community! We will have food and coffee for sale this year in addition to complimentary post-race snacks. We will have photo opportunities, mocktails, flowers, and more for 2026!
