The Marathon (26.2) may be right for you if you:
- Are ready to challenge yourself with a longer-distance goal
- Have prior running experience (helpful, but not required)
- Can commit to a 16-week training journey
- Have time for longer weekend runs
- Feel comfortable training toward a 6.5-hour finish (approx. 14:40–14:45 pace)
The Half Marathon (13.1) may be right for you if you:

- Want a meaningful challenge that fits a busy schedule
- Prefer shorter long runs while still building endurance
- Want to make an impact without the higher time commitment
Your Journey. Her Future.
When you join SoleMates, you’re committing to more than training—you’re stepping into a journey of growth, connection, and impact.
Over 16 weeks, you’ll train alongside a supportive community while raising critical funds that empower girls to build confidence, develop life skills, and cross their own finish lines.
Just like the girls in our program, you’ll set goals, stay committed, and discover what you’re truly capable of.

Participating as a SoleMate reminded me that running can be about more than personal goals. Supporting Girls on the Run gave the experience a clear purpose, making the miles feel more manageable and meaningful. [Staci - 2025 SoleMate]
