Amy Broadmoore on women’s underrepresentation in adventure sports and avenues to create more inclusive endurance events

June 12, 2020

Amy Broadmoore is a professional photographer, mother of three kids, and a longtime trail and ultrarunner. Amy has created a photography project called Onward, where she explores reasons for women’s underrepresentation in endurance sports through photography and storytelling. By endurance sports, we’re talking long-distance trail running, mountain and gravel biking, and cross country skiing races — races that take 4+ hours and sometime days to complete.

You can find photographs and stories of the women Amy has interviewed on the Onward website.

Quote: “I have become very aware of how men are often in positions of power more than women—at getting information out about endurance events, about making decisions on how races are held, at deciding policies that might welcome women more, or discourage women more…All the systems in place have become a lot more obvious to me since starting this.”
