"On the day of our practice 5K it was a very wholesome experience to see all the girls cheering each other on as they finished. Towards the end, there was one girl left running and the rest of the girls started running with her on the last couple of laps."

Run The Marine Corps Marathon

Secure your entry into one of the largest and highly sought after marathons by becoming a Girls on the Run of Northern Virginia SoleMate! As a SoleMate, you'll fundraise your way to the Marine Corps Marathon finish line. As GOTR NOVA strives to reach every girl throughout Northern Virginia, the need for program scholarships increases. The funds raised by our SoleMates help ensure Girls on the Run is accessible to all throughout Northern Virginia, regardless of their ability to pay for the program.

 

You don’t need to be an athlete—and you don’t need to finish first. Learn more about becoming a SoleMate today!
