Gear That Works for Women
We are also MOMS, RISK TAKERS, RULE BREAKERS, and yes, even lunch makers…
We design, build, select, and sell gear for women who RUN the House and FIX the house. For moms who MANAGE Zoom class schedules while running Zoom meetings. For women who BUILD strong communities and the damn IKEA furniture. And WE DESERVE gear that fits our bodies, our lives, and our adventures. (more…)
What Does a Mother Runner Look Like?
Dimity over at Another Mother Runner sent us a tweet earlier this week saying, “these #motherrunners stand for exactly what you do: strength, confidence, beauty, awesomeness.” She was right.

Be proud of your work, of your body and YOU! We will happily share and deliver photos to AMR on your behalf.
