WHAT IS FAST & FEMALE?
Fast and Female is a not-for-profit organization started by Olympic Gold Medalist in cross-country skiing Chandra Crawford. The mission of "Empowerment Through Sport" is accomplished through fun-filled all-day events featuring skiing, biathlon, yoga, hip-hop dancing, healthy eating and inspirational presentations.
Fast and Female is about more than a great time on skis; it’s about building confidence and leadership skills in girls and young women while showing them how much they have to gain from an active lifestyle. Success in the short-term means getting more girls hooked on cross-country skiing and biathlon. In the long term, Fast and Female will become a US and Canadian-wide wellness program with benefits for girls and young women across the continent. The young girls who attend Fast and Female events today will lead it in the future.
