Celebrating 12 Years of Connection, Strength, and Stride.

As we celebrated 12 inspiring years of community, connection, and collective kilometres in October, I’d like to thank everyone that joined in on the virtual birthday event. This wasn’t just a run, it was 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. To mark our 12th birthday, we launched our inaugural annual virtual event – 10km in the month of October and it was a great success. 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 was a 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.

Thank you.

We’re never running alone. We’ve weathered lockdowns, life shifts, and long distances – and through it all, we’ve stayed connected. This run was another step in building that connection into something we can feel, even when we’re far apart. The RMA Annual Virtual Event is here to stay – and we can’t wait to continue the tradition in 2026.

Hello from me. I’m Michelle.

As the owner of RMA my 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 community 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.

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%. Running Mums Australia, running when we can – and today I can.
