At Saltire24, we are thrilled to announce our partnership with She Races as part of our ongoing commitment to support and empower female athletes. She Races is dedicated to creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for women in sports, and we are fully aligned with their mission.
Our Commitment to the She Races Guidelines:
We have fully embraced the She Races Guidelines, which focus on making sporting events more welcoming, accessible, and encouraging for women. These guidelines have been instrumental in shaping our approach to ensure that female athletes feel supported and valued at every stage.
Steps We’ve Taken:
Representation: We are proud to announce that this year, 57% of our participants were women—a testament to our dedication to creating an inclusive event.
Inclusive Imagery: We will be showcasing diverse and inclusive imagery on our social media channels, reflecting the broad spectrum of women in sport.
Facilities and Support: We are committed to maintaining clean and accessible toilet facilities, and starting next year, we will provide free period products at our event.
Pregnancy Support: If any participant becomes pregnant, we offer the option of a two-year deferral or a full refund, ensuring that they can participate when the time is right for them.
Equal Prizes: While we do not offer prize money, we ensure that all our athletes receive the same prizes, reinforcing our commitment to equality and fairness.
Inclusive Atmosphere: From our event communications to race-day support, we are dedicated to fostering an environment where female athletes feel respected and empowered.
Feedback and Improvement: We actively seek feedback from our female participants to continuously improve and tailor our events to better serve women in sports.
We believe that by working together with She Races, we can make a lasting impact in the sporting community, encouraging even more women to participate and thrive in events like Saltire24.
