momboss 5k

The momboss 5k 2026 is a community-focused celebration and empowerment event held at the Plymouth Community Center in Plymouth, Minnesota. Scheduled for Sunday, May 3, 2026, the gathering is designed to encourage and cheer on the significant women in the community. Unlike a traditional road race, this event combines a 5k run/walk with a "momboss market" and a morning retreat, featuring local vendors, a grant recipient announcement, and networking opportunities. The event kicks off with registration at 8:30 AM CDT, followed by a pre-race stretch and a prompt race start at 9:05 AM CDT.

The event transitions from an athletic pursuit into a social and professional retreat, highlighting the "momboss" mission of building each other up. The schedule is structured to maximize interaction between participants, local business sponsors, and the featured grant program.

Plymouth is the seventh-largest city in Minnesota, located approximately 15 miles northwest of downtown Minneapolis, with a population of approximately 81,000 residents. It is a major employment center and a hub for medical technology and healthcare services. Demographically, Plymouth is approximately 76.4% White, 10.1% Asian (predominantly Indian and Chinese), 6.2% Black/African American, 3.4% Hispanic/Latino, and 3.6% Multiracial. The city is highly affluent, with a median household income of roughly $128,000 USD and a labor force with high participation rates among women in professional and management roles.

The local culture is defined by high-quality public amenities and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. Plymouth is consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the United States, largely due to its expansive park system—including the Millennium Garden adjacent to the Community Center—and its focus on work-life balance. The "momboss" community reflects a specific regional trend of female-led small businesses and professional networking groups that leverage the city's corporate resources to support local commerce. Residents are known for their active lifestyles and a "community-first" approach to philanthropy, where supporting local artisans and small-scale grant programs is viewed as a vital investment in the city’s social fabric.

Participants can expect a scenic course through the well-maintained trails surrounding the Plymouth Community Center, followed by an upscale retreat experience. The event emphasizes encouragement over raw competition, though the top finishers are recognized alongside the announcement of the momboss grant recipient—a highlight that awards funding to a local woman-owned initiative. By 12:00 PM on May 3rd, the center will be filled with the energy of a successful morning of fitness and fellowship, providing a significant boost to the local "momboss" ecosystem just in time for the spring season.
