WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF GIRLS.

WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF ROLE MODELS.

WE BELIEVE EVERY GIRL DESERVES POSITIVE, EMPOWERING SPORT EXPERIENCES.

A not-for-profit organization founded in 2005, Fast and Female is led by two great cross-country ski competitors and friends - Olympic Gold Medalists Chandra Crawford and Kikkan Randall. Girls quit sports at 6 times the rate of boys (Enorksen, E., 2011), and Fast and Female is an organization born to change the culture around girls in sport by introducing them to inspiring athlete role models.

STATS
  • 41% of girls ages 3 to 17 don’t participate in sport. (CAAWS, 2016)
  • If a girl does not participate in sport by age 10, there is only a 10% chance she will be active later in life. (CAAWS, 2016)
  • 75% of teenage girls do not reach the minimum level of daily physical activity recommended by the WHO. (Journal of Preventative Medicine, 2017)
