What are SoleMates?

A great way to support Girls on the Run of Los Angeles County is to participate in an athletic event as a fundraiser. What better way to show our support to local area girls than to train for and participate in an athletic event ourselves!  At GOTR LA, our adult athletes who decide to fundraise to help the girls of LA County are called SoleMates.

As a SoleMate, you can participate in any event of your choice…whether you want to do a half marathon, a mud run, a triathlon or any other event of your choosing, we will support your training and fundraising efforts.  OR, you can join one of the selected Team SoleMates events and run with an inspiring, fun group. Team SoleMates is a non-competitive, supportive group comprised of a wide range of experience.  From absolute beginners to seasoned vets, we all share a love of the GOTR mission.  We choose to support the organization through our commitment to participating in an event and raising money to help our girls.  See the links below for more and information and we’d love to see you all on Team SoleMates for one of these events or any event of your choosing!

Ways to Get Involved

There is not just one way to become a GOTR LA SoleMate.  We offer something for every level of ability and interest.  This year the SoleMates program is offering the following ways for you to get involved:

2012 Team SoleMate Events

Team SoleMates is a group of SoleMates that get together to participate in our selected events as a team.  This year we have selected  the Long Beach Marathon Weekend and Malibu Marathon/Half Marathon.   Team SoleMates will share in the joy of training and participating in these events while fundraising for GOTR LA.  We’ll get together on a few training runs/walks, share training advice, and join up on Race Day to embark on our journey.

Recruit Two Friends and Receive a Garmin Watch

If you are thinking of joining SoleMates for either the Long Beach or Malibu events, we have a great reason for you to do so and BRING FRIENDS.  We are excited to announce that everyone who recruits two friends to become a SoleMate will receive a refurbished Garmin training watch with GPS that will tell you how fast you are moving, how far you’ve gone, how long you’ve gone, your average pace, how many calories you’ve burned, and more.  This is a great training tool that’s worth over $100.  Join SoleMates now and you could be soon training in with a GPS watch!

Bring one friend into the SoleMates program and receive a beautiful purple GOTR dry-fit training shirt. Click here to register as a SoleMate.
