SOLE SISTERS VIRTUAL RACE 2026

Two Runners. Two Medals. One Heart. ❤️

Some miles are simply better when they're shared.

The Sole Sisters Virtual Race is a special virtual running and walking challenge created for best friends, sisters, moms and daughters, running partners, walking buddies, and the person who's always there cheering you toward the finish line.

Choose a 1 Mile, 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, or Marathon, complete your miles together—or hundreds of miles apart—and celebrate your friendship with two beautiful interlocking Sole Sisters finisher medals.

Each of you gets one half.

Put the two medals together and they create one complete heart.

Because the best finish lines are the ones we reach together.

WHO IS YOUR SOLE SISTER?

A Sole Sister doesn't have to be your actual sister.

She's the person who makes the miles—and life—a little better.

Your Sole Sister might be your:

• Best friend
• Sister
• Mom or daughter
• Running partner
• Walking buddy
• Workout partner
• Running club friend
• Long-distance bestie

She's the one who talks you into signing up for another race.

The one who tells you, “We're almost there!”

The one who celebrates your victories.

And sometimes she's the person who convinces you that signing up for 13.1 miles sounded like a perfectly reasonable idea.

Your miles may be different. Your bond isn't.

CHOOSE YOUR DISTANCE

Each Sole Sister can choose the distance that's right for her:

1 Mile • 5K • 10K • Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) • Marathon (26.2 Miles)

And here's the best part:

You don't have to choose the same distance.

Walk your first mile with Mom.

Run a virtual 5K with your sister.

Challenge your best friend to a 10K.

Train for a half marathon with your running partner.

Or tackle 26.2 miles with the person who's been beside you through every long run.

The distance is yours. The memory is shared.

MILES APART? YOU'RE STILL SOLE SISTERS.

Your Sole Sister doesn't have to live nearby.

That's one of the best things about a virtual race.

One of you can run outside while the other hits the treadmill.

One can complete a 5K while the other takes on a 10K.

You can start at the same time, FaceTime before your race, text each other updates, or simply choose a day that means something to both of you.

Complete your challenge side by side or miles apart anytime during 2026.

No matter how many miles separate you, your two medals will always fit together.

TWO INTERLOCKING SOLE SISTERS MEDALS

Complete your challenges and each of you earns one half of the Sole Sisters interlocking finisher medal set.

Keep one medal and give the other to your Sole Sister.

Separately, they're beautiful reminders of your accomplishment.

Together, they create a complete heart.

It's a meaningful keepsake celebrating more than the miles you completed.

It celebrates who completed them with you.

A UNIQUE BEST FRIEND OR SISTER GIFT

Looking for something more meaningful than another ordinary gift?

The Sole Sisters Virtual Race gives you an experience to share and a keepsake you'll both have afterward.

It's a fun gift idea for:

• Best friend birthdays
• Sister gifts
• Mother's Day
• Mom-and-daughter activities
• Running partner gifts
• Walking buddy gifts
• Girls' trips
• Running club friends
• Fitness accountability partners
• Long-distance friendships
• Milestone celebrations
• Just-because gifts

Give her one half.

Keep the other.

Then earn them together.

HOW DOES THE SOLE SISTERS VIRTUAL RACE WORK?

1. REGISTER ONCE FOR BOTH PARTICIPANTS

One $30 registration includes two medals and two race bibs.

2. CHOOSE YOUR DISTANCES

Each participant chooses from:

1 Mile | 5K | 10K | Half Marathon | Marathon

You can choose the same distance or different distances.

3. COMPLETE YOUR MILES

Run, walk, or jog wherever works best for you.

Complete your challenge around your neighborhood, at a park, on a trail, at the gym, on a treadmill, on a track, or during another organized race.

Complete your races together or separately.

4. CELEBRATE TOGETHER

Finish your challenge and celebrate with your matching interlocking medals.

Two runners. Two journeys. One heart.

YOUR MILES HELP PROVIDE SHOES & OPPORTUNITY

Your Sole Sisters challenge also gives your miles a bigger purpose.

At least 15% of every registration is donated to Soles4Souls, an organization that helps turn shoes and clothing into opportunities for people around the world.

So while you and your Sole Sister are earning your matching medals, you're also helping your miles make a difference.

Run together. Walk together. Give back together.

MORE THAN $1 MILLION RAISED FOR CHARITY

When you participate in the Sole Sisters Virtual Race, you're joining a community committed to making miles matter.

The Virtual Run Events community has helped raise more than $1 million for charities through virtual races and fitness challenges. 

Every registration adds to that impact.

Every race gives us another opportunity to support a meaningful cause.

And every participant helps turn miles into something bigger than a finish line.

Make memories. Make miles. Make a difference.

WHAT IS A VIRTUAL RACE?

A virtual race is a running or walking challenge you complete wherever and whenever works best for you.

There's no required starting line.

No crowded race morning.

No minimum pace.

Run your neighborhood.

Walk your favorite trail.

Use a treadmill.

Complete your challenge while traveling.

Or participate from opposite sides of the country.

That's what makes the Sole Sisters race especially fun.

You don't have to be in the same place to share the same challenge.

Your race. Your pace. Your Sole Sister.

WHO WILL YOU SHARE YOUR HEART WITH?

Think about the person who's been beside you through the miles—and everything else.

Your sister.

Your mom.

Your daughter.

Your best friend.

Your running partner.

Your walking buddy.

Your Sole Sister.

Choose your distances.

Lace up your shoes.

Make some memories.

Then put those two medals together and remember exactly who helped make the journey special.

TWO RUNNERS. TWO MEDALS. ONE HEART. ❤️

One $30 registration includes the complete two-medal set and two race bibs for two participants.
