Laura Allen

“I’ve been running for almost two years, and it all started during one of the toughest seasons of my life as a mother. I felt like my world was spinning out of control, and I needed to reclaim a sense of strength and clarity. With no childcare support, I put my kids in the stroller and pushed my way forward—physically and emotionally. Running became my therapy. It helped me find a stronger, more resilient version of myself, and it also gave my kids an active, empowered mother to look up to.

As a stroller-running mom, my top priority is the safety of my babies. Whether I’m navigating busy sidewalks, running near wildlife, or passing through unfamiliar areas, I’ve learned to stay vigilant and prepared. Running isn’t just about personal growth for me—it’s about protecting what matters most while inspiring others to do the same.”
