Welcome to the
Roxbury Mother Runners
run club!
About Us
We are a group of mothers and women in Roxbury, New Jersey and the surrounding area who enjoy supporting each other in an active & healthy lifestyle.
We get together for early morning group runs every weekend, sometimes on Saturdays and sometimes on Sundays. While we do have some later runs, most of them are early enough in the day that we have some time to get our run in before weekend tournaments, birthday parties, and #momlife in general. In the warmer months, we have a coffee tailgate after the run - bring your favorite mug and enjoy some coffee or tea and spend some time meeting and chatting with your fellow moms. In the colder months, we generally have our post-run meetups inside at one of our many local coffeeshops. We have recently introduced group runs during the workweek for while the kids are in school, but the little ones are welcome to come along in your jogging stroller. We're currently looking into organizing moms nights out and a book club this year!
We have women of all difference paces, from walkers to more advanced runners and every pace in between. Coming to group runs is a great way to get connected with like-minded women who make exercise and healthy habits a priority in their lives. Taking care of ourselves and filling our cup first allows us to then be present for our children and family members. Most of our members were strangers to each other when we formed this group in 2024, but have quickly grown to form strong friendships.
The safety of our members is very important to us. This is why all information on our run locations and specific meetup times are only available in our private Facebook and Strava groups.
We use Strava as our main and most reliable way of communicating events, routes, and information. After downloading the app to your phone, please search for our main "Roxbury Mother Runners" group with the RMR logo and request to be added. Strava is an amazing social networking app for athletes. You'll be able to not only join our club and follow along on the routes we have set for that day's run/walk in realtime, but you'll be able to record your workouts and get data and details on all of your activities!
We have a private Facebook group where we share specific information and details regarding our runs as well, and also as a way of communicating with each other, sharing photos, etc.
We are active on Instagram! We post our group photos from every run and race, and we encourage our members to tag us in their stories so we can share their Run Brags and cheer eachother on!
Both of these groups are women-only and our admins and moderators keep watch and vet anyone entering these groups. While we may have events where spouses are welcome to join, only women will be allowed into the actual groups as members! Your privacy and safety are important to us.
Our membership and group runs are currently free! Donations are not necessary but are always very much appreciated as any amount helps us to purchase things we use for our runs - our post run coffee supplies, treats, hand warmers, website fees, business cards, etc.! We definitely always need more to-go coffee cups. :)
