Our Story

Sole Sister Ramblers was founded by five long time friends in their late fifties. Our mission is to connect and empower women in midlife and beyond one Ramble at a time. Everywhere is in Rambling distance with Sole Sisters.

Sole Sister Ramblers began when 4 long time friends found themselves scattered across the globe—living in places like Singapore, Canada, the USA, Spain, and Panama. To stay connected, we started participating in virtual walking challenges together.

We created a chat group to log our kilometres, share photos from our walks, and talk about the joys and challenges of being women in midlife and beyond. We started calling our walks Rambles—and our group, the Sole Sister Ramblers.

Those daily chats brought surprising depth, laughter, and meaning to our lives. So in 2021, we decided to open our little circle to the world—and Sole Sister Ramblers officially began.

What started as five friends has grown into a global movement. Today, tens of thousands of women from around the world connect, Ramble, and inspire each other to live more active, joy-filled lives.

We talk about everything under the sun, but it’s Rambling that brings us together.

For us, Rambling is about more than just movement. It’s a mindset—a mix of play, purpose, and presence. It means moving our bodies in ways that bring us joy, whether that’s walking, hiking, stretching, or dancing through life.

Sometimes Rambling is about wandering and exploring. Other times, it’s a moment of mindfulness or creative discovery. It invites us to slow down, notice beauty, and find connection—both with ourselves and with others.

The women in this community Ramble in countless ways. Some walk, snowshoe, hike, swim, cycle, sail, row, ski, play tennis or pickleball, practice yoga, or paddle canoes. Others explore through art workshops, farmer’s markets, concerts, and community events. We Ramble the world—and our own backyards.

Rambling reminds us that we don’t need to be athletes to be active. It’s about joy, movement, and friendship—and in the process, we gain the health, happiness, and confidence that come from connecting with other women.

That’s why our motto is: Everywhere is in Rambling distance with Sole Sisters.

Happy Rambling!
