Now is the time to lace up those running shoes and start training! SoleMates members raise money to support Girls on the Run. All money raised goes directly to support new programs and ensure all girls have the opportunity to participate in Girls on the Run regardless of income level. During the season we will not only train for the San Diego Rock n’ Roll marathon or half marathon (an achievement in itself), but will also have our sights set on raising $25,000 to provide more than 80 girls with scholarships to participate in the Fall 2010 season of Girls on the Run. Voted Best Race and Best Post-Race Party by Competitor Magazine, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon/ Half Marathon in San Diego is a unique event that combines running with entertainment.
We are proud to announce that the San Diego Track Club (“SDTC”) will be the official marathon coach and training provider for this season of the Rockin n’ Rollin Program. Girls on the Run is thrilled to have partnered with the best running organization in San Diego!
