Team Fly Girl
For Black women & WOC ready to train, race, and show up together
Team Fly Girl is the running arm of Fly Girl Collective — created for Black women and women of colour who want to get stronger, chase meaningful goals and represent Fly Girl on race day.
We started as a racing community back in 2018, and now we’re bringing that energy back with more intention, connection and support than ever before.
More than a run club, Team Fly Girl is a training community that comes together each race season to build fitness, consistency, confidence and sisterhood.
Want to join us? Simply become a member of our Strava club and RSVP to a run. We’d love to have you along.

How it works
For committed runners
You’ll need a solid fitness base and a regular cadence of movement and running.
Race seasons with purpose
We train together across set periods, then turn up as a crew at selected races — proud to rep Fly Girl and push for our personal bests.
Not a run club — a team
This will be a smaller, focused group so you get real support, connection, and momentum.
Includes a Fly Girl race tee
There’s a small cost to join the team which covers your race tee.
