Meet Aubrey DeBoer, our SoleMate running the 2025 Every Woman’s Marathon! With four marathons already under her belt, she’s ready to continue breaking barriers and following her passions. Learn more about her journey to the starting line below!

Aubrey grew up playing sports, and she found herself running cross country and playing lacrosse in high school; however, she pressed pause on running to pursue lacrosse in college.

“After college, I was kind of lost without sports. I started running and then saw a random post about the Chicago Marathon lottery. I just decided to put my name in the lottery. I was picked and did the full training by myself,” said Aubrey. “After completing a few marathons, I found the Fleet Feet training programs and have been training with them ever since then.”

Fleet Feet quickly became the catalyst for her SoleMate journey.

“GOTR was introduced to me by some of the runners in the Fleet Feet program. I will support any organization that encourages girls to participate in athletics and running especially,” Aubrey said.

Aubrey’s commitment to female empowerment goes beyond athletics, as she carves her own path with a recent career change to become an electrician. Less than 5% of electricians in the United States are women.

“I’m in the electrical apprenticeship and I love it. I love being a woman in this male-dominated field and seeing more and more women joining this field,” she said.

Aubrey’s running adventures have taken her across the country, including Disney World! She’s completed the Disney Fairytale Challenge—a 10k and half marathon over two days—and the Dopey Challenge—a 5k, 10k, half marathon, and marathon over four days. Now, Aubrey’s ready to take on her next racing challenge.

“The Every Woman’s Marathon will be my fifth marathon,” she said. “I am also excited to do a marathon in Arizona!”

The Every Woman’s Marathon will take place on November 16, 2025 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Donate to Aubrey’s SoleMate fundraiser here.
