Jacksonville Moms on the Run

🍂 Fall layers have entered the chat. 💜

Cooler mornings + fall miles + a cozy new MOTR hoodie? We’re READY.

The Moms on the Run store has some seriously cute new gear for the season, including full-zip hoodies in three colors (and yes, we’re still very partial to those gorgeous heathered shades 😍) plus the new cropped tank that is basically begging to be worn for a run, strength class, coffee afterward... you get the idea. 😂

Because if we’re going to show up for those chilly fall workouts, we might as well look cute doing it. 💜💚

Which are you grabbing - hoodie or crop tank? Or are you firmly Team “why choose?” 👀😂

Five reasons why running with a group and a coach make you a better runner.

1. ACCOUNTABILITY - Running with others keeps you consistent. It’s a lot easier to show up when others are counting on you. Shared goals and support turns intention into action.

2. YOU FIND YOUR PEOPLE - Running brings people together. Bonds are built on growth, support and positivity.

3. LESS PRESSURE, MORE JOY - running so can feel like constant Self competition. In a group, the pressure fades, and the miles feel easier.

Friends + Exercise = Pure Joy

4. YOU LEVEL UP WITHOUT EVEN REALIZING IT - Runners tend to be more focused, run farther and work harder when they’re surrounded by friends who are pushing to achieve a common goal.

Friendly Competition = Progress

5. IT’S ACTUALLY FUN! (And funny!😂) - Exercise and social connections both translate to increased joy. Opting in to a difficult pursuit with friends gives our brain a dopamine boost.

Laughter and Movement is cathartic!

Same pace, less suffering. Running with friends and a coach you like gives you guidance and lowers how hard the run feels. It’s not just a vibe, it’s an actual measured effect backed by research. The higher perceived cohesion and support are associated with lower perceived exertion and greater enjoyment!

Need all this in your life? We offer FIVE coach led group running and strength classes every week!

Deborah Gomer inspires us all daily and she is so deserving of this award. We are blessed to have her as a member at MOTR Jax and as a friend. 🫶 💜

We have so many amazing members at Moms on the Run, and we know everyone has a story. Most of our journeys go through valleys and mountaintops, and we honor those who have endured valleys this year and celebrate those who have reached mountaintops — both figuratively and literally. Our favorite award to present every year is our Moms on the Run Most Inspirational Member of the Year. 🏆🏃‍♀️

We are honored to present our 2026 Most Inspirational Member award to MomsOnTheRunJax member Debbie Gomer. Debbie has overcome some HUGE obstacles this year as she was diagnosed with breast cancer and took immediate action with a double mastectomy and other cancer treatment. At the same time, her daughter-in-law was also diagnosed with cancer and has been battling her own treatments. Debbie managed to deal with her illness and hold up the family helping with her daughter-in-law’s treatment. With all this going on, she continued to work and, within a couple of weeks post surgery, to show up at MOTR class without fail, even when all she could do was walk slowly.

Jacksonville Moms on the Run Franchise Owner and Head Coach Amy Magdalein says, “Debbie is kind, shows selflessness and is someone everyone in our group looks to for support, guidance and friendship. Just a few months after surgery, she is back on the road with us training for a PB at the Savannah Historical Half Marathon in November and we know she will crush it!”

Her Assistant Coach Christy shared, “she helped us lead classes in a pinch and has attended classes regularly through her treatments. So many women are deserving of this nomination, but this member’s involvement and continued support of other members is a testament to her commitment to MOTR and to her own health and fitness. We love her and continue to pray for healing!”

Congratulations Debbie and we’re so honored you are a part of our Moms on the Run family. 💜🙌🎉

We’re also excited to award Debbie a pair of the amazing new Freedom Runs from our Official Footwear Partner Kizik Hands Free Shoes!
