Girls On The Run Charity: SoleMates
SoleMates is the charity running leg of Girls on the Run. We are a team of male and female athletes who pursue individual goals, such as running a marathon, ½ marathon or triathlon, to raise money for Girls on the Run of Austin and our important after school running programs for young girls. If you’ve signed up for the Chicago, New York or San Antonio Marathon it’s the perfect opportunity to raise money for a local charity while participating in the Rogue Running programs.
Girls on the Run is a non-profit organization whose mission is to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self respect and healthy living. It is an innovative health education and wellness program that combines training for a 3.1 mile run/walk event with life-changing, self esteem enhancing lessons that encourage healthy habits and an active lifestyle in 8-12 year old girls.
For information about Girls On The Run, visit our website or email kb@gotraustin.org.
Registration for Girls on the Run SoleMates is $26, and then members agree to raise a minimum of only $262 on or before thirty (30) days after completing the race (or be personally responsible for this amount.) Participants must sign up for their chosen event independently.
