EVENT PARTNERSHIPS

MAKE YOUR RACE MORE INCLUSIVE

At Women in Tri UK, we believe every woman deserves the opportunity to experience the thrill of a triathlon. But for many, financial, logistical, and structural barriers make participation difficult. That’s why we work directly with race organisers to improve inclusivity, ensure events are designed with women in mind, and break down barriers for first-time triathletes through our First Triathlon Programme.

Want to increase female participation at your event? We can help.

OUR EVENT PARTNERSHIP SCHEME

Introducing private changing tents at London T100 enabled over 40 Muslim women to take part in the race and created a ripple effect, benefiting anyone who needed a private space to change.

Our Event Partnerships Scheme ensures that races are more accessible, inclusive, and welcoming for women of all backgrounds. We work with race organisers to provide:

Discounted and donated race entries to reduce financial barriers.
End-to-end policy guidance on women- and beginner-friendly race practices, covering everything from registration to the finish line.
Visibility and promotion on our channels for events that actively support inclusion.

Our Bronze, Silver, and Gold Partnership levels offer different ways for event organisers to engage with us and support our mission.

"My first ever triathlon was at Blenheim, and I was made to feel totally at home.

The instructions and rules were all very clear. The location is stunning. Easy to find and not ages to walk around and sort the bike out etc. Helpful, friendly staff and lots of people dotted around if you were to need help"
