Online entry fee is $45. The kidlets race (for under 10 years old) is $15. You can register online through the Moms on the Run website. Call (775) 826-8117 for more information.

If you bring Mom to Greater Nevada Field on Friday, May 10, you'll enjoy fireworks after the game. And the promotion on Saturday, May 11, is a Copa de la Diversión Replica Jersey.

Theaters are closed. Just about every Mom likes movies. You might treat her to a show at the IMAX theater in Sparks or get her a movie gift certificate so she can pick her own flick. For an out-of-this-world experience, take her to the Fleischmann Planetarium.
