“We are thrilled with the strong turnout and the energy this event brings to the community each year,” said Denise Gross, TMCS Community Relations Coordinator. “The Run for the Mums not only celebrates health and fitness but also gives back to our local youth by supporting TMCS sports programs.”
All proceeds from the race benefit youth recreation programs offered through Tipp Monroe Community Services. The race, which has been held annually since 1978, coincides with the Tipp City Mum Festival and continues to draw participants from across the region.
The 2025 Run for the Mums was supported by premier sponsors Meijer, Regal Rexnord, Arenstein & Andersen, the Tipp City Mum Festival and Abbott. Their contributions help ensure the ongoing success of the race and the recreational opportunities provided by TMCS.
