PTRA Launches ‘Women in Trailrunning Fund’

Launched today:

The PTRA Women Equality Working Group has launched the brand new ‘Women in Trailrunning Fund’, dedicated to supporting initiatives that showcase and benefit women in trail and ultrarunning. This fund is designed for creatives and community organizers who wish to highlight the contributions and experiences of women in these sports through their projects. Whether through media, events, or community programs, the fund aims to amplify the presence and recognition of women in trail and ultrarunning, promoting inclusivity and inspiring future generations.

I’m still tracking gender splits for all the big UTMB World Series events and while there are a couple outliers we’re nowhere near proper gender parity at the starting line, especially for longer distances (100K + 100M), so this is very welcome to see and hope will get supported well.
