Description

Sanctioned by USA Track & Field


We've got a brand new race for you! The Sole Mates Run is a celebration of health and fitness. There's no better way to celebrate than with friends and family. So grab your running mate and get to the starting line!

What's new about this race? TWO THINGS! First, participants can choose to run the race individually (as usual) or they can team up with a partner. Instead of placing by their individual race times, partners will instead place by their combined times. Run together and win together! We might call it "Sole Mates" but it doesn't matter if you pair up with your spouse, kids, significant other, best buddy, or neighbor.

The second change is the course. You've all probably run the WakeMed course at some point. We know that "the Hill" is a tough climb. That's why we're running the course backwards! That means you run down the hill more times than you have to run up it.

Invite your friends and family to run together!


If you're looking for a great Valentines Day gift for a friend or loved one, sign up for the Sole Mates Run!
