About Paola Handley
A stereotypical goth teen who spent her high school years sneaking off at PE wakes up, one day, finding she's a middle aged mum with a mid-pack crisis. Help her normalise being out, getting dirty, having fun (and while this can apply to a lot of activities, I'm talking about running).
In May 2025 I will be taking part in the Cape Wrath Ultra, a multi stage 400km race immersed in the wilderness of the Scottish Highlands. This is an insane undertaking for a mediocre runner like me, and I thought I'd up my stakes by raising awareness to gender inequality.
From representation, to pregnancy deferrals, to safety, there are many areas in which women are still discriminated. SheRACES is all about the level playing field.

Breaking barriers for women and girls in sports
We believe a woman's place is on the start line.
SheRACES works to research barriers, develop solutions and collaborate and campaign for equity for women in races - from running, to cycling, triathlon and more. We empower women to advocate for change through sharing our research and guidelines, as well as supporting events to implement them.
We have already impacted millions of women around the world, making races more equitable - from equal prize money, to period product provision, inclusive media coverage and more.
Notable campaign successes include pregnancy deferrals at London and Chicago marathons, as well as our guidelines accepted by UTMB globally.
There is so much more to be done, so please support our work!
