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. SoleMates are teams or individuals (men and women) who pursue individual goals, such as running a marathon or 5K, or completing a triathlon or cycling event, while raising money to help young girls in our communities live their own dreams.

Athletes may sign up to participate in any running, walking, cycling, swimming, or multi-sport event of their choice and participate in Girls on the Run SoleMates. Registration for SoleMates is $25, and fundraising minimums vary by event.

Girls on the Run's support for our SoleMates athletes includes:

• Easy online registration process
  
• Exclusive SoleMates technical t-shirt upon registration
  
• An exclusive Girls on the Run SoleMates Training Guide for those participating in a 5K, half marathon, or full marathon
  
• Premiums from GOTR SoleMates sponsors, including a 25-35% discount on Garmin fitness watches
  
• Simple online fundraising through Active.com
  
• Extra motivation of running for a reason – to change the lives of girls!
