6 triathlons/6 continents/6 days
Our founder, Kelsey Myers, successfully completed the feat of racing 6 triathlons on 6 continents in 6 days, making her the fastest woman to race a triathlon on 6 continents. Her journey covered Brazil, Portugal, Morocco, Oman, Australia, and finally Malibu, California.
Kelsey raced an Olympic distance triathlon in six countries in under a week: a .9 mile swim, 24.8 mile bike, and a 6.2 mile run. To be eligible for a world record, she collected two witness signatures at each location, took photos at the start, finish, and throughout each race, recorded her distance via GPS, and had a certified USAT race director review the evidence and provide a statement that verified the completion of each race.
Women are still greatly outnumbered by men in the sport of triathlon. This achievement is intended to help bridge the gap by inspiring and empowering women around the world to take on the challenge of completing a triathlon.
Our goal is to promote gender equality in sport by partnering with ZGiRLS. Together, we will empower girls by showing them that you don't have to be a professional athlete to do something epic... It just takes a goal and the will to make it happen. ZGiRLS creates a world where all girls and women live with zero self-limitations.

$129 WILL SPONSOR A GIRL TO JOIN THE CONFIDENCE PROGRAM
The ZGiRLS Confidence Program is a transformative 4-week online program led by professional, Olympic, or collegiate female athletes who empower participants to believe in themselves through the ZGiRLS Curriculum™.
They address the critical issue of low self-confidence and self-worth among middle school girls, offering a valuable toolkit of skills and strategies to build life-long confidence. The program focuses on nurturing a growth mindset, building self-worth, teaching resilience through challenges and failure, and fostering effective communication skills. By intervening during this critical life stage, they unlock girls’ fullest potential and lay a foundation for them to thrive.
ZGiRLS’ fundraising model is really simple: donors fund the scholarship program, which allows the team to maintain the need of granting scholarships to 80% of participants.
That means your donation goes directly to the girls who need it the most. And because of you, ZGiRLS can open our doors freely to all girls and families seeking our support.
