Parenting Now celebrates families all year, but mothers on Sunday

EUGENE, Ore – Mother's day started early at Alton Baker Bark Sunday morning.

Parenting Now, an organization which supports families with young children, held their first 5K on Sunday.

The run was a celebration of moms and they were treated with mimosas at the finish line.

About 50 runners showed up: moms, dads, and children.

One mother said she's fairly new to parenting, but couldn't think of a better way to spend her third Mother's Day.

"I’m new to Eugene and I was really happy to hear about this. I just wanted to do something more healthy on Mother’s Day,” said Carly Dorr, mother and 5k participant.
