Congrats to all the girls who completed this season’s Girls in the Run Heart and Sole team! 🎉

The team ran a 5k and at their last practice completed a lap-a-thon to raise money for No Barriers, a non-profit dedicated to bringing people together of all abilities to break through the barriers and meet their adventure dreams. The girls in one hour ran in total nearly 20 miles and raised hundreds of dollars to help others!

Way to go, ladies!!
