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. The runner/walker must still register for the event of their choice independently. These are two separate registrations.
Girls on the Run International's support for our SoleMates athletes:
- Easy online registration process
- Exclusive SoleMates technical t-shirt upon registration through GOTRI
- Premiums from GOTR SoleMates sponsors
- Incentive prizes for participants reaching & exceeding fundraising minimum. The levels are:
- $262
- $500
- $750
- $1000 and Up
- Simple online fundraising through Active.com
- Potential for participation in "in person" group training runs (varies per city)
- Inspirational emails from Girls on the Run to keep you motivated
- Extra motivation of running for a reason – to change the lives of girls!
In addition, if you are doing the Bank of America Chicago Marathon (2009) you receive:
- GOTR SoleMates tent in Charity Village which serves as a meeting place on race day
- Private gear check
- Access to private porta johns
- Food, water & other supplies before and after the race
- GOTR SoleMates presence at the race expo
- New Balance Running Shoes to the first 100 that reach $500
Girls on the Run SoleMates participants agree to pay a non-refundable $26 fee upon their registration. This amount will not be applied toward their minimum fundraising goal. By registering for our charity running program the participant agrees to raise a minimum of $262 for the Girls on the Run council of their choice on or before thirty (30) days after completing the race, or be personally responsible for this amount.
