SheRACES Trail Series: Fundraising Places

Looking for some added motivation to take on the 25km or 50km distance? Help SheRACES by signing up for a trail series fundraising place to raise essential funds to support their work.

  • What is SheRACES?

    SheRACES is a global network of champions, driving change to support female athletes founded by Sophie Power, ultrarunner, trustee of Women in Sport and mother of three. 

    SheRACES exists to level the start line for women at races, across all sports (with a current focus on road and trail running, cycling and triathlon), working with sponsors, athletes and race directors to identify and dismantle the barriers that prevent women from competing in races and events.

  • What is the SheRACES Trail Series?

    The SheRACES Trail Series is a collaboration between SheRACES™ and Ourea Events® to create the UK’s first women-only trail running series.

    The series is made up of three weekends of incredible trail running in beautiful locations across England, including Surrey, Shropshire and Derbyshire. With the option to either race, run or hike the 25km distance or the longer 50km distance. 

    We have focused on breaking down barriers for women associated with their participation in sport, to create an event that truly celebrates women from all walks of life. Our goal is to ensure EVERY woman – regardless of background or ethnicity - gets to experience the joy of racing!

    COUNT ME IN!

Hear from SheRACES founder Sophie Power

“As well as creating an amazing experience and challenge, our goal is to open up the trails to those who are currently underrepresented – particularly women of colour. Because of this, the locations have been specifically chosen to be within easy reach of public transport from major cities, breaking down the access barrier that many women living in cities face.  

We are currently seeking a major race sponsor to fund an extensive outreach program alongside the race series, actively enabling more women to experience the joy of trail running. I know that these challenges have the power to change so many lives and I cannot wait to celebrate with every finisher.”
