CHALLENGEDAYTONA is thrilled to host Women in Triathlon, a dynamic panel including several world-class professional athletes, designed to empower female endurance athletes of all backgrounds and abilities. The event takes place as part of the inaugural CHALLENGEDAYTONAfestival weekend at Daytona International Speedway.
The Women in Triathlon panel, a joint effort between Team Leanda Cave (Team LC) Ambassador Randi Milner and CHALLENGEDAYTONA Ambassador Skye Bobbitt Johnson, will spotlight a roster of female pros, including Meredith Kessler, Sarah Haskins, Alicia Kaye, Lauren Goss, and Lisa Roberts. The format features an in-depth Q&A session in which the panelists will be asked to share their knowledge and insights as women competing in the upper echelon of endurance sports.
Moderated by co-creators Milner and Johnson, the event aims to empower women in triathlon to maximize the opportunities and benefits that the sport offers, and to carry the confidence gained through triathlon participation into all areas of their lives.
“Triathlon is a truly empowering way of life. It’s a place where anyone one of any age can toe the line and win on race day,” says Milner, who joins a half dozen other Team LC women racing atCHALLENGEDAYTONA. “For us to come together to support and learn from each other during an electric time like race week is a no brainer!” she says.
Johnson, a full-time triathlon coach and mother of three, adds, “The event is about empowering women and sharing how we can do it all. Besides the obvious health benefits, the sport brings so much joy and fulfillment to our lives. In many cases, we will make better choices, have better relationships and gain confidence due to our involvement in triathlon. That is empowering!”
Scheduled from 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 8th at theCHALLENGEDAYTONA expo, the Women in Triathlon panel is open to everyone supportive of women in the sport of triathlon.
