what is solemates^®?

SoleMates^® is the charity running “leg” of Girls on the Run and uses the power of running to make a difference for our girls. Teams or individuals (men and women) pursue individual goals such as running a marathon or completing a triathlon while raising money to support participants in Girls on the Run. Athletes can participate in ANY event to support Girls on the Run.

Your personal goals, like running a 5k, a half or full marathon, or completing a triathlon can help thousands of young girls live their own dreams. Be a Girls on the Run SoleMate and raise money for the Greater Kalamazoo Girls on the Run.

Runners/Athletes are asked to raise a minimum of just $300 within 30 days of completing their event.
