Discussion: This is an important conversation to have. On an athletic level, it impacts participation in the sport – as Trans and Intersex athletes are vulnerable to exclusion from women’s running, as well as ridicule and invasion of privacy. On a personal level, this has an impact on how women feel at home in our Bodies. Raising key questions surrounding body autonomy and belonging:
• What does it mean to be a woman?
• Who gets to decide? and
• Why?
Join us as we dive deeper and explore the controversial history of women’s running.
Our goal: to bring Sex politics, liberation, positivity into a running context -- because what we learn from our Bodies (moving through place and space), helps us explore embodiment and reconnect on a deeper level with ourselves & each other.
Your registration will include :
- Brunch
- A curated reading list & questions to support ongoing learning
As always tag @projectloverun, what city you are in and your reflections and/or photo of your run & brunch.
