Description

When a photograph of Sophie Power breastfeeding her three-month-old baby mid-race went viral, it sparked a global conversation about motherhood, sport, and equality. But for Sophie, the moment was never about heroics - it was about the barriers women face just to reach a start line.

In this powerful episode of The Game Changers, Sophie – a world record-breaking ultra-runner and founder of SheRACES – shares how she’s challenging a sport designed for men, campaigning for pregnancy deferrals, fair cut-offs and real equity for women in endurance events worldwide.

In this episode, Sophie reveals:

• The anger and injustice behind that iconic UTMB image
• Why so few women make it to ultra start lines – and how to change that
• The life-changing power of endurance challenges for women everywhere
• How SheRACES is driving global reform in running and triathlon events
• What resilience really looks like when you’re juggling motherhood, sport and ambition

From running 347 miles across Ireland to smashing a 48-hour treadmill world record, Sophie Power is redefining what’s possible and refusing to leave other women behind.
