About
Get ready to lace up for a cause that's close to the heart—the Inaugural Mom Day 5k + Kiddo Dash! This Mother's Day, let's rally at McNamara Park in Galena, Ohio, for a race that supports maternal mental health, honors pregnancy-related challenges, and assists those navigating the postpartum journey. Whether you're a family member, caregiver, fur mom, or simply part of the supportive community, your steps will make strides for mothers and birthing persons across Ohio, with proceeds benefitting POEM Ohio's vital services. Together, we're not just running; we're uplifting spirits and raising awareness, because more than 30% of new moms and birthing persons wrestle with mental health issues after childbirth. And the celebration doesn't end at the finish line! Stick around for a festival brimming with local mom-powered businesses, artistic flair, and a community vibe that's all about empowerment. Join us, champion mothers, embrace family fun, and be part of a day where every step tells a mother, "You're not alone."
