EVENT SIGN UP
We give SheRACES Accreditation to those events that actively commit to levelling the start line for women
Why should I sign my event up
By following our guidelines and making simple changes to welcome women, you can increase the number of women on the start line, as well as improve the race day experience for all athletes.
Races that follow our 8 key commitments can:
-
Use our Accredited Event logo on your website to attract female participants. More and more women are looking to sign up to events that are SheRACES accredited
-
Be featured in on our website
-
Signal to potential sponsors about the social responsibility of your race
-
Ask us for advice and guidance on how to encourage more women to enter your races

88% of women would be

How do I sign my event up?
We understand that every race is different, and some of our recommendations in our Race Guidelines may not apply to all. What we're looking for is an active commitment to look at your event through a female lens and take feedback from participants.
We want to know you're encouraging women to the start line, taking account of the female experience before, during and after the race, and valuing the female competition equally.
Using our research, we have developed 8 key commitments that can apply to all events (plus a requirement to recommit annually). If your race meets these, we would love to have you join our SheRACES Accredited events.
Before you fill in the event agreement below, please ensure that you have read our Race Guidelines and understand the key commitments.
If you're able to, please use the online sign-up form below to submit your application. Otherwise you can contact us via email to get a downloadable form via hello@sheraces.com.
We will review your application, check that you are clearly meeting our guidelines and, if appropriate, add you to our website. You will receive a welcome email once this process is complete.
Races based in India – We have a dedicated Chapter of SheRACES in India, which processes all applications in the country. Please use the dedicated form below to apply; if you have any questions, please contact the SheRACES India team.
What does it cost?
Our work needs funding to create maximum impact. We are a non-profit organisation and can only continue to support races and women through fundraising. We ask Accredited Events to consider an annual donation to SheRACES to support our work. This enables us to reach further, drive change and support more women around the world. For those races that opt to donate to our cause we will:
-
List you as a SheRACES Supporter; these events feature at the top of our Races page
-
Be able to give you more individual support to increase female participation at your events
-
Share updates about your events on our social media channels, our newsletter and as case studies on our website*
-
Talk about your events in the media / on podcasts etc where relevant as examples of best practice
* Please note that we are not a marketing agency, but we will try to share updates as much as we can. We rely on you providing us with information for our newsletters and case studies
However, we don't want cost to be a barrier to races applying to be SheRACES Accredited. Smaller races and those unable to make a donation at this time are still welcome to apply for SheRACES Accreditation. Our goal is for as many races as possible to follow our guidelines and work towards higher female participation.
Donations can be made via Stripe or Bank Transfer (see below).
SheRACES India has a different payment structure, so please contact the team directly to find out more.
Work with us in greater depth
We have worked with large and small race organisers in more detail to meet specific goals, for example with Threshold Sports and Abingdon Marathon. Please contact us to find out more about Strategic Partnerships and how we can help your events.
