About Charity Bib SoleMates

SoleMates is the adult charity program of Girls on the Run. The program provides male and female athletes of all abilities the opportunity to raise money for Girls on the Run while training for an athletic event of their choice. SoleMates set personal goals such as running a 5K, a half or full marathon, or completing a triathlon to raise critically needed scholarship funds for Girls on the Run Capital Region. By joining Girls on the Run SoleMates, you can play a vital role in ensuring the future success of Girls on the Run programs that impact the lives of young women throughout the Capital Region each year.

We are a pleased to be a charity partner of the 2016 Mohawk Hudson River Marathon and Hannaford Half Marathon again this year. We have a limited number of race bibs available for runners who wish to raise funds for our organization.

Application Process

Our Charity Bib Solemates Program is more than just a race bib. We expect our Charity Bib Solemates to be champions of our organization. In return, we provide resources, support and goodies during your training. We also provide an easy-to-use online SoleMates fundraising template page which you must use as part of your fundraising efforts. We are a new program in the area and we count on our SoleMates and other volunteers to help raise awareness of our organization through fundraising and social media efforts.

To be eligible for a charity bib you must register as a Charity Bib SoleMate, describe how you will promote Girls on the Run Capital Region during your training, and agree to the guidelines of our program. Applications will be reviewed by our Charity Bib Selection Committee. Selections are based on the quality of responses and are at the discretion of the Committee. All applicants will receive notice on or before March 25, 2016. The fee to register for a bib is $10. You will not be charged until you are selected.

Applications will continue to be accepted after March 25th while supplies of bibs last.

***UPDATE: Our half marathon bibs are spoken for. Join the waiting list at no charge here.

Full marathon bibs are still available.
