Use the POWER of Running
to make a Difference in the Life of a GIRL.
What Is SoleMates?
Charity running has become an integral part of most endurance events across the country. Training for any endurance event is often challenging, but doing so for an important cause is a great way to keep it fun, stay motivated, and maintain your commitment.
The Girls on the Run SoleMates® program provides adults an opportunity to raise money for our local Girls on the Run council while training for the athletic event of their choice. Teams or individuals (men and women) pursue goals such as running a marathon or 5k, participating in a relay, or completing a triathlon or cycling event to raise money for Girls on the Run in our community. Each year, our SoleMates raise critically needed funds that ensure our council’s ability to inspire more girls throughout Hunterdon, Bucks & Warren Counties to be joyful, healthy, and confident.
Whether you are participating in your first or fiftieth event, by becoming a SoleMate you are doing much more than achieving your personal fitness goals. By asking friends to support your event training and participation with a donation on your behalf to Girls on the Run, you are showing your true commitment to the values we are instilling in our girls to celebrate their physical and emotional health. Sign up today to be a SoleMate, and let your love of running make a difference in the life of a girl.
