Plant Based AC travelled to Abbotstown along with athletes from across Ireland to compete in the National Cross Country Qualifier - to race for Ireland. Our athletes raced hard and finished high in the standings.
Rachel qualified for the Irish subs bench as in 2024 the numbers qualifying for men's and women's teams still is not equal. However, Plant Based AC is committed to striving for, and supporting equality for women in racing. Plant Based AC worked with others to have this item addressed accordingly and we are happy to report that this effort was successful.
From 2025 onwards, the number of men and women on teams in the five nations master's cross country teams will now be equal across both genders. With thanks to those who assisted across the nation in making this a reality.
