Run or Walk the GOTR 5K with your Girl

By joining the SoleMates Running Buddy team you fundraise for Girls on the Run of Los Angeles County (GOTRLA) and run or walk with your own girl at the Girls on the Run season finale’s 5K Race. SoleMates Running Buddies play a vital role in ensuring the future success of Girls on the Run of LA programs.

What is SoleMates Running Buddy?

SoleMates Running Buddy is an adult fundraising program of Girls on the Run of Los Angeles County. SoleMates Running Buddies are parents, coaches, and supporters that have a Girl in the program and want to run or walk with her at the GOTR 5K while raising funds to support the organization.

We’ll Get you Ready for the 5K

Girls on the Run of LA will be training for and participating in a 5K event in May. By becoming a SoleMates Running Buddy we’ll provide you with a 5K Training Program to get you ready for the big day!

Fundraising Minimums and Support

When you join us as a SoleMate Running Buddy we request a $25 non-refundable Commitment Pledge that goes toward your fundraising. We ask that you raise a minimum of $125 and will support you every step of the way with an effortless fundraising web page, fundraising ideas, tips and support.

Receive Race Shirt

If you have raised a minimum of $125 before the 5K, Girls on the Run will provide an official Girls on the Run race day t-shirt so you’ll be truly a part of the Girls on the Run Team.

It’s Easy to Get Started!

Once you join SoleMates Running Buddies through our easy online registration, you’ll receive information to set up your website and you’ll on your way to achieving your goals! Register now!

Your Fundraising Dollars Provide Scholarships

Girls on the Run programs combine training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. Our goal is for every girl in Los Angeles to have the opportunity to be a Girl on the Run, regardless of background or income. Your fundraising dollars will allow Girls on the Run of Los Angeles County to provide scholarships. $175 will support a girl for an entire season of Girls on the Run and no girl is ever turned away for financial reasons.

Don’t forget to ask if your or your donors’ employers match charitable contributions!  Donations made to GOTRLA are tax deductible, as we are a 501c3 non profit organization (20-5115367).
