Fast & Female in Madawaska!

Fast and Female expanded it wings yesterday with a successful event in Madawaska, Maine. With over 150 girls, the day was filled with skiing, games, lunch, Q & A time, and autograph signing.


Fast & Female was originally started by Canadian skier, Chandra Crawford. U.S. skier, Kikkan Randall was inspired by the mission and values of the organization and launched a U.S. version of Fast & Female in Anchorage, Alaska two years ago. This wonderful organization promotes young girls to live an active and healthy lifestyle. Fast and Female hosts events led by athletic champions who serve as healthy role models and inspire girls to gain the confidence and leadership they need to reach their full potential in life and sports.

Yesterdays event was a huge success! Not only did we have a large group of girls, but the girls were very enthusiastic and excited to ski and to have all the US National women competitors ski with them. We had fun skiing, playing games, eating and signing posters.
