Fast and Female

WHAT IS FAST AND FEMALE?

Fast and Female is first and foremost a social change movement that is bigger than all of us. We believe that girls are limitless, they will lead and succeed, and sport role models are the ultimate empowerment vehicle. We are fed up with the mass exodus of so many girls from sports and we share in the bitter frustration of those girls and young women who face too many barriers even to begin. We are a community 700-strong of athletes across North America who value inclusion and empowerment for girls. We have joined this movement to have funwhile leading social change and to share our message of authenticity with the girls: “Be You. Be Real.”

Fast and Female is a registered charity led by two friends, athletic rivals, and moms who happen to be Olympic Gold Medalists: Canadian Chandra Crawford and American Kikkan Randall. Fast and Female’s mission is to keep girls healthy and active in sports. We do this by introducing self-identified girls ages 8-14 to inspiring athlete role models at non-competitive, fun-filled events all over North America. Founded in 2005, Fast and Female has reached 15,000 girls to date through 239 events thanks to the volunteer work of 700 athlete ambassadors.
