This International Women’s Day, in line with the theme ‘Accelerating Action,’ FINDRA is proud to partner with the FNY Collective to support more women stepping into leadership roles in mountain biking. Through the FINDRA Foundation, we’re funding two dedicated women to complete a Level 2 Mountain Bike Leadership qualification, alongside an extensive mentoring package. This initiative not only empowers individuals but also fosters a more inclusive and inspiring outdoor community. Together, we’re breaking down barriers and paving the way for more women to lead on and off the trails.
Alex Feechan, CEO & Founder of FINDRA
"Today, on International Women’s Day, I am incredibly proud to announce the launch of FINDRA’s partnership with the FNY Collective—a collaboration that embodies this year’s theme, Accelerating Action.
I founded FINDRA ten years ago because I believed that women in the outdoors deserved better—better design, better clothing, and better support. The outdoors should be a place where women feel confident, comfortable, and empowered, and it has been FINDRA’s mission from day one to make that a reality.
Our partnership with the FNY Collective is about more than just mountain biking—it’s about creating real change. Together, we are committed to championing women’s progression in the sport, breaking down barriers, and supporting female leadership in mountain biking. Through mentorship, visibility, and community, we aim to inspire more women to take up space, lead, and thrive—both on and off the trails.
At FINDRA, we believe in leading by example—supporting, encouraging, and shining a spotlight on women in the outdoors. This partnership is an extension of that belief, and I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together.
Here’s to accelerating action, creating opportunities, and empowering more women to ride, lead, and inspire."
The FNY Collective:
"We are excited to announce a new partnership on International Women’s Day. In line with this year's theme ‘Accelerating Action’, The FNY Collective and Findra, a leading women’s outdoor clothing brand, have joined forces to empower women in mountain biking and promote their advancement into leadership roles within the sport.
This collaboration aims to launch a comprehensive leadership programme that builds on the FNY Collective’s previous successes in this area. We invite two dedicated women to apply for this unique opportunity, which includes an extensive mentoring package and the attainment of a Level 2 MTB qualification upon completion.
This initiative will not only empower individuals but also create a ripple effect, inspiring more women to engage in mountain biking and contribute to the community.
