Local Woman Starts Running Club for Moms

Beth Patterson has started the Falls Church-Annandale chapter of Moms Run This Town.

Beth Patterson has enjoyed running for years and now the 32-year-old mom is bringing a “Moms Run This Town” group to the Falls Church-Annandale area.

The national program brings local mothers together to run, socialize and share stories. Patterson said she used to belong to the Vienna-Oakton chapter but wanted a chapter closer to her Annandale home.

“It’s nice because you have other mothers with busy schedules together,” said Patterson, chapter leader. “We have all kinds of runners in the group from those who just started running to those who run marathons.”

The Falls Church-Annandale group has about 15 members now and is looking to expand. The group hasn’t started a meeting schedule, Patterson said, but they meet regularly for Saturday morning runs at different locations. Patterson said the chapter is looking to participate in local 5K runs in the future.
