Momboss 5K Set for May 15 near Medicine Lake
May is the month to celebrate moms and a local entrepreneur is encouraging people to do that by running a 5K, drinking a few mimosas and enjoying other fun activities at an upcoming event near Medicine Lake.
“If you’re looking for connection and community and you want to be around women that are cheering you on in professional life and in personal life, this is a great event for you to come and be celebrated,” said Dre Barthel, founder of the Momboss 5K.
On Sunday, May 15, Medicine Lake will play host to the Momboss 5K. The event begins with a 5K run/walk on the trails near the water, followed by a retreat style gathering at the Hutton House event center.
The Momboss 5K takes place on May 15 near Medicine Lake.
All participants will be able to enjoy drinks, music, breakfast and an artisan market featuring local vendors.
While the event is called the Momboss 5K, all women are encouraged to attend.
“We use the term ‘mom’ very loosely because I believe that women mother in all kinds of ways,” Barthel said. “I don’t think it has to be a biological birth. I have friends that are foster moms, single moms, women that have never had a child, but they mentor; and to me that’s that motherly nurturing instinct. So we always say, this event is for women who mother in all kinds of ways.”
Registration for the Momboss 5K is $65, and one lucky entrepreneur will receive a $1,000 grant to help them pursue a business goal.
