Volée Team FAQ
What is the Volée?
The Volée is a global community of thousands of women with diverse backgrounds and different goals, connected by the common thread of running. Women join the Volée for many reasons: to be part of a running community, gain training inspiration, connect with a diverse group of powerful women, meet a local run buddy, support girls in sport, help elite athletes thrive in their athletic pursuits, expand their network, be part of a meaningful mission, engage in activism, and the list goes on! We are committed to building a community that is strong, supportive, passionate, and fun.
Are there any requirements to join the Volée?
We do not have any special requirements (i.e. time or number of races you run in a year); we welcome anyone to join. No matter where you are in your relationship with running, you belong! Beginner, coming back after a long break, just checking it out, daily runner, walker - you're invited and we welcome you!
Why join?
Community!
In the Volée, you’ll be among an incredible group of women from all over the world who love the run. We welcome women of all cultural identities, paces, and places to join the sisterhood.

Perks
*See more below, under “What are the membership benefits?”
Invest in the Future of Girls in Sport!
A portion of your membership goes towards providing an In2Sports bra to the Bras for Girls charity, a 501(c)3 founded by Oiselle that supports girls with education, product, and knowledge behind the importance of a sports bra - all with the hope that this information and experience will encourage them to stay active in sport.
To date, we have donated more than 38,000 bras to girls in need. Learn more about Bras for Girls.
