 If you’re a woman, or know someone who is, looking to get more involved in triathlon, joining a team is a great motivator. Getting “sponsored’ is even more of a motivator. But supporting the Max Cure Foundation in their fight to cure childhood cancer is the best motivator of all. You can do all three with Angela Neath’s newly launched IRaceLikeAGirl tri team.

With female participation in the sport of triathlon hovering around 37%, 2015 North American Ironman Champion Angela Naeth is launching a platform designed to encourage more women to participate in the sport.

IRaceLikeAGirl will provide opportunities for women of all ages/abilities to support,
encourage and inspire one another in the sport of triathlon, promoting fitness,
positive change, and connecting women across the world. The platform will provide a unique opportunity for new triathletes and seasoned veterans to be part of the same team, participating in a community that brings out the best in each athlete.

Naeth is a multiple 70.3 Ironman Champion, twenty-five 70.3 podium finisher, Ironman 2014 Chattanooga Champion and the 2015 North American Ironman Champion, finishing with a sub 9-hour performance. She’s a strong advocate for the sport and the participation of women.

“As a professional woman triathlete, I believe I have a responsibility to help women succeed in the sport. I want to draw in new women and help support established triathletes,” said Angela Naeth. “IRaceLikeAGirl will be a community of women and girls, providing encouragement and opportunities for female triathletes. Ideally we will inspire runners, cyclists, swimmers, yogis, and many others to consider the sport of triathlon.”
