What is SoleMates?

SoleMates is the charity running leg of Girls on the Run of New Jersey East. We are a team of athletes (male or female) who pursue individual goals, such as running a marathon, to raise money for Girls on the Run of New Jersey East and our character development program for girls.

I’m Ready! How Do I Get Started?

Registration for SoleMates is $26. Each team member agrees to raise a minimum of $250 by securing donations from friends, family or corporate sponsors. We support our runners every step of the way with exclusive runner perks, effortless on-line fundraising programs and loads of motivational instructions. You can register for our SoleMates team on Active at  http://www.active.com/framed/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1993538. Please contact Anne at  kleins.nj1@verizon.net for more information about our 2011/2012 SoleMates team.

Where Can I Participate?

The Girls on the Run of NJ East SoleMates team participates in the New Jersey Marathon, Half-Marathon, and Team Relay, which is held on the first Sunday in May in Long Branch but runners, walkers, bikers and triathletes can participate in ANY event throughout the year to help raise money for GOTR NJ East.
