OUR STORY
Running Was Never Built for Us.
So We Built Something New.
Running culture has historically been shaped around men — from event design and marketing to safety, scheduling, and storytelling.
1 in 2 girls drop out of sport by age 14.
Only 20% of women feel completely confident in traditional fitness spaces.
91% of women feel traditionally misunderstood or misrepresented by major brand marketing.
THE PROBLEM
Women control 80% of household purchasing power, yet are targeted with superficial, "pink-washed" marketing.
Redefine the landscape of women's running events in the UK. Increasing female participation in running by centring safety, belonging and joy over pure competitive pressure.
Spotlight women's voices, health education, and important social causes — including safety in public spaces and reclaiming the night. Builing an authentic, active community that moves forward together.

FROM HOLLIE - SHE STRIDES FOUNDER
I started She Strides in May 2024, after feeling lonely and isolated, longing for a community of women like myself - i asked women on my social media if anyone would fancy coming for a run with me and within a few weeks we had a huge group of us. It was then that i realised that i wasn't alone in seeking this community... so many women yearned for the same thing.
Somewhere to feel safe, supported, encouraged, heard and maintain their fitness at the same time.
We now have over 14 run club locations for She Strides and this is only the beginning.
She Strides LIVE is the next chapter on this journey - bringing all our community's passions together in one event, whether it's women's fitness, wellness, health or charity - i am so excited for women of all ages and abilities to come and enjoy this experience together.
