If you are a runner, it doesn't matter how far or how fast. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run. –John Bingham

SoleMates is the adult charity running program of Girls on the Run®. The group is made
up of male and female athletes who participate in running events of any distance as a means of raising money for Girls on the Run® Boston. Just as Girls on the Run uses running to transform the way girls see themselves and their opportunities, SoleMates members are changed by their experience.

Boston SoleMates® run to raise enough money to reach every girl, and to educate and prepare
her for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. By joining Girls on the Run SoleMates, you
can play a vital role in ensuring the future success of Girls on the Run® programs, impacting the
lives of thousands of young women every year.

If you are currently training for a race and would like to raise money on your own, please visit
