In the latest SoleMates story, read how Shannon drew inspiration from the girls she coached through Girls on the Run.
Girls on the Run is a nonprofit character development program for 8-13 year old girls that combines running activities with valuable life lessons in nutrition, body image and social issues.
Adults who sign up to be a SoleMates fundraiser for Girls on the Run can receive a discount on Garmin fitness devices along with other incentives, including training plans developed by Coach Jenny Hadfield. With the support of a Garmin Forerunner to track distance, time and pace, any individual can successfully train for the event of their choice. Garmin has also offered unit trade-in programs with working units donated to the Girls on the Run SoleMates program.
