Girls on the Run SoleMates

Want to use the power of running to make a difference in the life of a girl? Join Girls on the Run SoleMates, our charity running program. We are a team of male and female athletes who pursue individual goals, such as running a marathon, to raise money for one of our 157 Girls on the Run councils in the United States and Canada. Individuals can sign up to run/walk/bike in any event of their choice and participate in Girls on the Run SoleMates. Registration for SoleMates does not include registration to the actual race.
