SoleMates are adult athletes who pursue individual athletic goals to fundraise for Girls on the Run – Chicago so we can continue to inspire girls across Chicagoland to be joyful, healthy and confident! More than 75% of Girls on the Run participants request scholarship funding to be able to participate in our program; funds raised by SoleMates athletes help support this need. In 2011, Chicago-area SoleMates athletes raised more than $100,000 for Girls on the Run programs!
We have FREE entries for the sold-out Bank of America Chicago Marathon! CARA's 18-week summer marathon training program is included with registration. Click here to register. (Fundraising minimum: $750)
