Award Given:
Run Motivators: Mississippi Women-Owned Small Business of the Year
We are thrilled to announce that Run Motivators, the inspiring venture led by solopreneur Tracy Bulino, has been honored with the prestigious Mississippi Women-Owned Small Business of the Year Award by Best of Best Review. This accolade celebrates Run Motivators' exceptional contributions to the fitness community and its unwavering commitment to charitable endeavors.
The Inspiring Journey of Run Motivators
Founded in May 2016, Run Motivators emerged from a deeply personal journey of healing and hope. Tracy Bulino, navigating the emotional aftermath of four miscarriages, turned to walking and running to improve her physical and mental health. Realizing the transformative power of these activities, Tracy was inspired to create a platform that would motivate others to embark on their fitness journeys.
Run Motivators is a unique, body-positive fitness movement that hosts virtual races and challenges, encouraging participants of all abilities to keep moving. The concept is simple yet powerful: participants can complete the races and challenges whenever and wherever they choose, with the sole aim of improving themselves. This inclusive approach has resonated with thousands, fostering a supportive community that spans over 63 countries.
Making a Difference, One Step at a Time
What truly sets Run Motivators apart is its dual mission of promoting fitness and supporting animal rescue. In 2019, Tracy expanded her philanthropic efforts by establishing The Erin Regan Animal Sanctuary and Rescue on a 40-acre farm in Picayune, Mississippi. The sanctuary, home to over 60 rescued animals, is sustained by the profits from Run Motivators. This symbiotic relationship between the business and the non-profit exemplifies Tracy's dedication to making the world a better place.
A Personal Touch in Every Aspect
Run Motivators is not just a business; it's a testament to Tracy's passion and perseverance. As the sole employee, Tracy designs all the medals and merchandise, manages marketing and social media, and handles customer service personally. This hands-on approach ensures that every participant receives a level of personalized attention and care that larger companies often lack.

Heather R.: "The Shine Bright Like a Diamond event changed my life. I have multiple chronic illnesses and chronic pain from a car accident, but this challenge motivated me to get more active.
