Dear race directors, athletes’ representatives, Member Federations and athletics family: On the occasion of International Women’s day, we’re proud to be bringing to you a special episode of our Road Race Webinar Series. We’ll celebrate the women who are shaping the sport and the industry, and look at some best-in-class examples of events and programmes specifically designed to tear down any barriers to gender equality left in distance running.

Join us on Thursday 7 March, at 7am New York – 12pm London – 8pm Singapore.

Topics will include:

• the inspiring story of Mary Ngugi and how the Nala Track Club is helping female athletes feel safe and achieve their best
• case studies of women-only events in Japan and Sweden
• a wheelchair racers perspective from Catherine Debrunner
• research-based policies to increase women’s running
• creating opportunities for women of colour
