Sole Mates is a celebration of health and fitness together and is coming back and this year we are proud to announce it will be benefiting Girls on the Run Triangle! There's no better way to celebrate than with friends and family. So grab your running buddy and get to the starting line!
Participants can choose to run the race individually (as usual) or they can team up with a partner (separate awards for both categories!). Instead of placing by their individual race times, partners will instead place by their combined times. Run together and win together! We might call it "Sole Mates" but it doesn't matter if you pair up with your spouse, kids, significant other, best buddy, or neighbor.
Girls on the Run of the Triangle is a nonprofit youth development organization that inspires girls grades 3rd - 8th to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running. Girls on the Run inspires girls of all abilities to recognize their individual strengths, while building a sense of connection in a team setting. Volunteer coaches facilitate lessons that blend physical activity with life skill development to enable girls to adapt to whatever comes their way. At the end of the season, the team completes a 5K together, which provides a tangible sense of accomplishment and sets a confident mindset into motion.
All races will have a mass start at 9:45 AM for the Fun Mile and 10:00 AM for the 5K / 6.5 Mile and the course closes for all races at 11:30 AM (In-person Race Day Schedule). Please consider your race pace when deciding which event to run. * For any participants who feel they may need some extra time, please contact us at info@fitandable.net.
