There is something for everyone at the Heart and Sole! Even more importantly, what better excuse can one have for a day out with “just the girls”?" ........ "I thought we were treated like royalty!! The roses were a nice treat, as well as the chocolate covered strawberries. How wonderfully done—the best race I have ever been in. (I have been in numerous races in numerous states.) I have already recommended this race to everyone I have spoken to about it—I LOVED IT!" ........ "There is something unique and inspirational about an all women’s run. Thanks for an outstanding event." ........ "I will bring everyone I know next year. Thank you for the hard work and time that went into planning such an amazing event!" ........ "The organization of this event was first class. The food was incredible! Thanks for making it such a wonderful event to participate in. I’ll definitely be passing the word along to more women for next year’s race."
