You can be a part of SoleMates, the charity running leg of Girls on the Run, for any athletic event, whether you are planning to run, walk, bike, swim or do a combination!
SoleMates is a team of athletes (male & female) who pursue individual goals, such as running a marathon or any other athletic event, to raise money for local Girls on the Run.
There are three "crown jewels" that make up SoleMates:
Health: we run in celebration of health! We are motivated to make a difference in the future of girls by introducing healthy habits and an active lifestyle!
Girl Power: we run because it is fun! Our Team members run in "sporty" tiaras � which are an external symbol of the internal beauty we all possess. The tiaras remind us of the whimsical spirit that exists within each of us and caps off our image of being strong, healthy individuals who dare to make a difference.
Inspiration: we run to show what is possible. The experience of a SoleMates athlete mirrors the experience of a girl in the GOTR program - both learn lessons about goal setting and achievement, perseverance, motivation, overcoming obstacles and inspiration. These athletes step across the finish line and experience a moment when their sense of what is possible becomes limitless! |
