Breaking Down Barriers: Empowering Women to Participate in Adventure Triathlons

Category: Challenge Event Advice and Guidance

Looking at our Event stats over the years, we were pretty pleased to see the gender split has improved significantly from 30/70 in 2023 to 42/58 in 2024. However, we appreciate there is still more we can do to help break down barriers that may prevent women from attending our events and experiencing incredible adventures. We recognise that there is a huge amount of women out there itching to get on triathlons, hit the trails with their mates and experience the thrills of pushing yourself on an event. Equally, there are many factors that are at play when it comes to signing on the dotted line, getting to the start line... never mind, reaching the finish line! That is why we are pledging to do more than ever to create a welcoming, inclusive environment for all. We want more awesome women at our events absolutely rocking it and creating a positive cycle of inspiring other women to follow suit. Lets explore our journey and how we plan to do this...

We are delving into elements we have considered to help make the event experience as comfortable as possible whilst on your period - more than simply adding chocolate to the fuel stations (although we appreciate that is a crucial step too!). As well as steps you might like to take to ease your comfort levels too.
