Registration for SoleMates® is $26. Each team member agrees to raise a minimum of $262 for GOTR 5K events, $500 for all other events by securing donations from friends, family or corporate sponsors. We support our runners every step of the way with effortless on-line fundraising programs and loads of motivational instructions.

When you register, you can select one of our Atlanta partner events or an event of your choice. We support you doing any event at any distance!  Please note that registration for SoleMates does not include registration to the actual race you choose to participate in while raising money for Girls on the Run. You will still need to register for the event of your choice independently. These are two separate registrations.

The Atlanta SoleMates® team chooses a couple official events to focus training runs; however, runners are welcome to participate in other races.
