We rise by lifting others
The 4Five+ Athlete Collective was created to inspire and support female athletes aged 45+. One of our goals is to provide positive role-models, and challenge the expectations around high performance and ageing in a racing environment.
We have been overwhelmed with the support and goodwill of the WA Cycling community, and are especially grateful to our inaugural sponsors, whose generosity is enabling us to fulfil this goal at the upcoming Tour of Margaret River, and beyond. ToMR is our first opportunity to come together as a team of femmes 45+, to challenge ourselves, explore the capabilities of our demographic, and hopefully inspire other femmes 45+ to pursue an active and competitive life.
Our sponsors’ commitment to excellence and community support closely aligns with the 4Five+ values, and we will be proud to wear their logos on our jersey as we pursue our Fit Fun Fast Femme dreams. This will be the jersey you see as we race across the 2021-2022 season (watch our socials for a new order opening this week).
Where you can, please support the people who support us. You can find information about our sponsors below, and more contact details on our Supporters Page
