Introducing the First-Ever RMA Annual Virtual Event: Celebrating 12 Years of Connection, Strength, and Stride
This October, lace up your runners, rally your tribe, and get ready to move together, wherever you are, for the very first Running Mums Australia Annual Virtual Event! As we celebrate 12 inspiring years of community, connection, and collective kilometres, we’re inviting all RMA and friends to be part of something truly special. This isn’t just a run, it’s a celebration of everything we’ve built together. From that very first group post to the thousands of stories, shared wins, honest struggles, sweaty selfies, and finish-line photos since, Running Mums Australia has grown into a national sisterhood like no other. Whether you run solo at dawn, juggle a stroller, or sprint through the trails with your weekend crew – this community has always had your back. And now, it’s time to do something together, no matter where we are.To mark our 12th birthday, we’re launching our inaugural annual virtual event – 10km in the month of October and we want YOU to be part of it. Whether you’re in bustling Brisbane, regional WA, the heart of Melbourne, the streets of SA, the trails of NSW or anywhere in between, this event is your chance to unite with thousands of running mums across Australia and beyond. We may be separated by distance, but we’ll be connected by purpose, movement, and the RMA spirit that has carried us for more than a decade.
Here’s how it works:
- Register before September 20th to secure your place, and your exclusive 2025 finishers medal.
- In October, complete your 10km in your own time, in your own way, one go or over several runs, on trail, treadmill, or road. It all counts!
There’s no official timer, no race director yelling “GO!”, and no pressure. This is about participation, celebration, and community. It’s about knowing that as you take those steps, thousands of other RMAs are doing the same at sunrise, at nap time, after work, or whenever their window opens. More than a run, this event is a reminder: we’re never running alone. We’ve weathered lockdowns, life shifts, and long distances – and through it all, we’ve stayed connected. This run is the next step in building that connection into something we can feel, even when we’re far apart. So, tell your running besties, invite that mum in your street who’s just started running, or commit to doing this one for you. Because the RMA Annual Virtual Event is here – and we can’t wait to make it a tradition. Together, let’s celebrate 12 years of running with purpose, passion, and each other.
Registrations open August 9th, close September 20th, run in October, and join us in making RMA history.

Hello from me. I’m Michelle.
I celebrated my 50th year by running a couple of marathons and ultras – in true RMA style and, after being part of this amazing community for 9 years, I ended 2024 by becoming the new owner of RMA. My only intention is to take the reins and continue building it in the same way it has since 2013. RMA has always been bigger than one person, and collectively, our members have built the most supportive and judgement free online communtity I have honestly ever been a part of. There at all hours ready to support your running journey, calm your race day nerves and tell you that you are absolutely nailing the family – work – lifestyle balance; because making sure your fitness cup is filled makes everything else just that bit easier.
If I don’t have a bib on race day, you’ll possibly find me at a volunteer aid station with other RMA cheering everyone on! With 3 adult children and a couple of extras, I am very fortunate to be able to run whenever I want to, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I always achieve much more knowing this community is behind me 100%. Seeing the RMA logo out and about at events and social runs always makes me smile. Running Mums Australia, running when we can – and today I can.
