Solemates of Western Colorado 
Moab Weekend 
May 11 - 13, 2012 

 There is no better way to make winter running FUN!
We are so excited about our Solemates event this year – the inaugural Thelma and Louise Half Marathon in Moab – on March 12, 2012. This event is a new event being put on by the fantastic race organizers in Moab.  It is sure to be a great event.  Registration for the race and Solemates will open in mid-February.

But wait, that is not all!  We have also reserved cottages and lined up a pre-race pasta dinner in Moab for Solemates participants, if you choose to indulge in the weekend get-away!  We will have Solemates incentives for fundraising, as well as a virtual training community and blogspot for participants so that Solemates from all over Western Colorado can "train" together.  Any Solemates WC participant who raises $750 or more will get their lodging covered as well (for one person at the cottages). 

Please check back here for more information on Solemates in mid-February.  We are very excited to roll out this opportunity and hope you will join us for a great event. 

Girls on the Run provides our programming to girls in 3rd – 8th grade throughout Western Colorado, for a minimal fee.Additionally, scholarships are offered to anyone who needs one.  The fundraising success of our Solemates program helps to insure that this empowering opportunity continues to be available to all girls.

A Girl on the Run is in Everyone!

2007 Team Tiara
Our 2007 Team Tiara, 43 runners strong, trained hard and completed races from San Francisco to New York. About 35 members of our team ran in Moab, Utah. Collectively we raised $16,000 dollars to help empower young girls in Western Colorado. As a team we accomplished so much and still, we had a ball! Highlights included: training runs with Coach Kathaleen and Coach Leanne where we were able to chat—and sweat—with old and new friends; our pre-race dinner and tiara decorating party where team members Katharina and Joanne played a big role; Laura, our Denver team-mate, completing the Chicago Marathon amongst excruciating record breaking heat; the finish line at The Other Half Marathon in Moab where EVERYONE pushed through and completed that tough course; and most enjoyable of all, being surrounded by amazing, talented women gallivanting around in public wearing TIARAS.
