RACE GUIDELINES
Every event is different. From 5km fancy dress road races, to ultra distance off road triathlons. What is the same is that women belong on their start lines. Actively encouraged to be there, with a positive experience when we race and having our competition held in equal regard.
We’ve put together a set of guidelines for race directors to help support female athletes.
Our suggestions aren’t relevant for all races - city road races don’t need safety trackers, for example. But most apply for all races, such as diversity in marketing images and equal race coverage.
​
The inclusive events we speak with have high repeat rates and high recommendation rates, showing that encouraging female athletes is good for events too. We encourage you to ask past female participants what they think can be improved - and please share any great ideas with us to support other events!
If you think your event meets our Race Guidelines below, see our Event Sign-Up page to join our Hall of Fame.
Here are our Race Guidelines. Use the arrows to expand each section to read the full text in each of the three sections
