#EnableInclusion. Inspiration alone doesn’t get us to the finish line.

Women need to feel included on the start line, given confidence to enter races and have the right race experience.  We need to see our competition being equally valued.

📚04 Grassroots Investment
Participation in races starts from the very beginning. Consider funding grassroots and local community initiatives, especially those that focus on empowering and encouraging women, in particular women from under-represented minorities.

Races rely on sponsorship! If you only sponsored races that took down those barriers, that were actively inclusive of women, our work would be done.

So instead of inspiring us this Women’s Day, Enable us #EnableInclusion

#EnableInclusion. Because we’re tired of just being inspired.

👉 We are talking to you brands & sponsors!

📚02 Create Content That Educates
While stories of inspiring achievements are great to read, they don't challenge the barriers that prevent woman from part. Provide educational content instead: how to use different kit, race preparation advice, staying safe when training, etc.

#EnableInclusion. Because we’re tired of just being inspired.

Listening to stories of women who’ve faced barriers and strived to climb over them.
They make us dream and hope and wonder.
But we can’t all climb over those barriers.

📚01 Sponsor races inclusive of women

Hold the races that you choose to sponsor to account. You have the power, so ask them about their female-inclusion policies. We have a checklist on our website for important questions to ask races before committing to sponsorship.

💪 We will be providing inspiration and advice this week on how you can tear those barriers down with us so stay tuned. You can also check out our website for more info on how you can support. Instead of inspiring us this Women’s Day Enable us #EnableInclusion

🚨Despite women being as likely to be runners, we are under-represented in races, especially over longer distances.

📝 Barrier No.05 Bad Provisions
67% of women said better provisions at races would encourage them to enter. We aren’t designed the same as men. Some don’t feel comfortable peeing in front of others. We want races to provide toilet facilities, changing facilities & period products
