HELEN100 UK Entries
‘Helen100’ was born to pay the entry fee for 100 young women in the British Cyclocross Championships in 2019. Launched in the middle of the 2018/19 season, this campaign created a huge reach and global interest. It was launched after reading repeatedly that women’s races will never reach the same number of riders as the men; simply untrue.
I appealed to young riders, teams, coaches and parents to come together via social media and in the end we removed a small financial barrier for 140 riders, smashing of our initial goal. This was crowd funded. We also guaranteed the riders free photography, and a race video to give the events a clear visual footprint. Importantly we created a community.
For the 2019/20 season this opportunity will be repeated and riders in the women Junior, Youth A and Youth B categories can have their entries refunded by Helen100.
