Each year, some 1,000 runners, walkers and bikers take part in the run. Six-week "Learn to Run/Learn to Walk" clinics have been organized by the Run for Mom since 1999 to help participants prepare for the event.
The program is run entirely by volunteers with support from Sport Yukon since 2003.
Watch the Whitehorse newspapers for starting dates in March or April. Registration is free!
