Not ready. Not alone.

My father taught me one thing: “Take care of your body. It is the only one you will ever have, and it is the most precious thing you own.” He had a method, discipline and consistency, long before anyone called it longevity.

Years later, after everything my family had been through, my siblings and I climbed Ben Nevis. At the summit, what stayed with me wasn’t the climb. It was what happens when you face something hard with someone beside you.

That experience led me to fall in love with endurance sport. And to years of training without ever understanding my own body: pushing through signals I should have listened to, following programmes written for someone else, with no idea which sport was even right for me.

I went looking for a challenge built around all of it: the wellbeing, the care, the science, and the people. I never found it.

So instead of adapting women to existing races, we’re building one designed for them.
