Sole Train: Boston Runs Together is a non-competitive, community-building and mentoring program that uses running as a vehicle for setting and achieving seemingly impossible goals. Join Sole Train’s Young and Old Soles on Saturday, October 31st at 2:00pm for an energized afternoon of community, fun, and sole at the Sole Train Virtual 5K! We’ll celebrate with a virtual run, special guests, an Old Sole-led workout, and a community chat. Check out our race info page to learn how you can get in on the action. Your participation helps support Sole Train’s 500+ youth to (de)construct (im)possible.
Unable to make the 5K but still want to support Sole Train? You can make a gift to help a Young Sole (youth) make strides toward greatness.
Sole Train: Boston Runs Together is a program of Trinity Boston Connects. We invite youth, most of whom have little running experience, to train for Boston’s Run to Remember, which offers both a half marathon and a five mile race. As a supportive community of caring adults and peers, Sole Train champions young people as they realize their capacity for greatness.
