Happy Medal Monday!
What a weekend. From making friendship bracelets at the West Side Wellness Fest, to celebrating with our 13.1 team at , to cheering until the very last runner crossed Mile 8.25 at the Bank of America Chicago 13.1, we were reminded just how powerful this community is.
This weekend brought together coaches, alumni, parents, volunteers, donors, race organizers, and runners of every pace and experience level, all united by a shared belief in creating opportunities for girls across Chicagoland.
Thank you to our SoleMates, who have raised more than $55,000 to support Girls on the Run Chicago, and to , , Vanessa Rodriguez Payne, and for sharing your time, encouragement, and support with our team throughout race weekend.
