Run Club is Back, Mama — And This Fall, We're Going BIG
Lace up with a village. Starting October 18, FIT4MOM Frederick's Run Club is bringing moms together for weekly group runs across Frederick, all building toward the 2026 YMCA Santa 5K/10K on December 12.
Why Run Club, Why Now
After a summer off, we are so ready to hit the pavement again, together. Whether you're chasing a new PR, training for your very first race, or just need an excuse to get out & move, Run Club is where Frederick moms show up for each other, one mile at a time.
This isn't about pace. It's about showing up, cheering each other on, and remembering that you are still a runner, even in this season of motherhood.
P.S.-We have a walking option...keep reading!

Who Is Run Club For?
Every mama. Every pace. Every stage.
- New to running? We'll help you build the habit.
- Returning postpartum? We'll help you ease back in.
- Training for a PR? We've got mamas chasing that too.
- Want to walk instead of run? You're welcome here too.
Walkers Welcome Not every mama is looking to run this fall, and that's more than okay. If your goal is getting your steps in, building a walking habit, or picking up your walking pace, Run Club has a place for you.
Our Sunday group runs are open to mamas who want to train to walk the 5K or simply get outside and move with the village. We recommend the 8-class pack for walkers planning to join us on Sundays.
You don't have to be "a runner" to join Run Club. You just have to show up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be an experienced runner to join? Not at all. Run Club welcomes moms at every fitness level, from brand new runners to seasoned racers.
Can I walk instead of run? Absolutely. Our Sunday group runs welcome mamas who want to train to walk the 5K, increase their walking pace, or just get their steps in with good company. We recommend the 8-class pack for walkers attending Sundays.
Can I bring my stroller? Yes! Our Sunday group runs are stroller friendly.
What if I can't make every run? Come when you can! Run Club is flexible, and every mama's training schedule looks different. Our 8 and 16 class packs let you choose the level of commitment that works for you.
Do I have to register for the Santa 5K/10K to join Run Club? No. Race registration for the YMCA Santa 5K/10K is separate and not required to join Run Club, and it's not included in your Run Club registration.
How much does Run Club cost? We offer an 8-credit pack ($199) or a 16-credit pack ($249, which also covers drop-in cross-training classes). Returning participants and FIT4MOM monthly members have access to discounted registration.
Where do the group runs meet exactly? Sunday locations rotate between Urbana, Downtown Frederick, and North Frederick. Tuesday morning runs will take place in North Frederick. Thursday evening runs will take place in Urbana. Specific meeting locations will be sent to participants. If you have specific questions please email us frederick@fit4momteam.com.
Your Village Is Waiting at the Start Line
