Melanie C urges women to get Sporty
Spice Girls’ Melanie C – Sporty Spice – is encouraging women to take part in one of Human Race’s Women Only events in 2013.
With a selection of swim, run, triathlon and cycle events taking place nationwide there is something for every lady to aim for.
Melanie C who is a supporter of the events said: “The Human Race Women Only series is a fantastic celebration of women in sport. It allows ladies to compete in an environment which is encouraging and fun.”
There are 5 and 10km options in the Women’s Only Run and even the option for ladies to run with their buggies. In the triathlon event ladies can sign up for novice (200m swim, 5km bike, 2.5km run), sprint (400m swim, 20km bike, 5km run) or challenge 800m swim, 30km bike, 7.5km run) distances and there is even a chance to get the girls together to make up a relay team. Cycletta also boosts a range of distances from 20 to 80 km distances and has events taking place nationwide. Also new for this year, girls over 12-years-old can take part in Cycletta making it perfect for mother/ daughter bonding. Also there will also be family wave in the Women Only Triathlon making this ideal for some female family bonding.
“Women contribute so much to the world of sport and these events offer a chance for all women to get involved regardless of their age or ability.” – Melanie C adds.
Lots of women, inspired by Team GB’s success in London 2012, have signed up for one of Human Race’s Women Only events. Cycling was the most successful sports for Team GB as they achieved 12 Cycling Medals, including eight Gold’s across Track and Road events and Human Race have similarly noticed a peak in Cycletta entries.
“Like so many others I have been really inspired by how well our GB ladies did at the Olympics,” Melanie said. “Cycletta’s Victoria Pendleton was a real icon of London 2012. I am keen to take part in one of the Cycletta events this year and look forward to seeing lots of ladies get on their bike and do the same.”
