The end of season 5km fun run for the girls Weekly Session is depending on location. Once registered, we will provide you the details on which run your girl will be training for. Your girl has the opportunity to participate in three 5km fun run every year with Sole Girls.
The curriculum is based on all girls participating in all the sessions in the 8–10 week program. The development of trust and individual training and empowerment depends on all girls participation. If you have a previous arrangement please contact us in advance info@solegirls.org to see how we can best help you.
Sole Girls will be expanding into more neighbourhoods soon! Let us know where you are and where you would like to see a Sole Girls program by sending us an email info@solegirls.org.
Lunch is not provided during our programs. Girls who are attending full-day Workshops or Sole Girls Camps, will need to bring a healthy lunch with them (unless stated otherwise). At our Weekly Sessions, we do provide a healthy, allergy-free snack like fruit, bars or granola.
