When Mixpe Ley and Raquel Roman met through social activism circles  in Los Angeles, they knew that were kindred spirits. It wasn't long after that, the two young mothers quickly noticed how running was different as a parent. Running Mamis was founded in 2018, to give moms a place to be active and find support in sisterhood. But it is much more than a running group. Through their activism and teaching background, Mixpe and Raquel are also championing for representation of the working class mom to have access to affordable running strollers, more inclusion in races that allow strollers, and helping women rediscover their strength after becoming moms.
