Biography

Multiple record-breaking cyclist, age-group World Champion triathlete, climate-activist adventurer, motivational speaker, ex aerospace engineer & sustainable education course founder. Coming to sport in her mid-thirties after leaving a toxic relationship, Kate Strong wasted no time and was crowned age-group Australian National Champion and subsequently World Champion in triathlon within 18 months of taking up the sport.

Struggling with her mental health after she could no longer compete, she started exploring how to use sport as a vehicle for positive change, attempting to set a new world record on a static cycle – a male record existed, but no female equivalent. After a first failed attempt, she set a world’s first female record for furthest distance on a static bike in 24 hours, and also broke the 1- and 12-hour records simultaneously.

Kate Strong’s sporting career has evolved towards advocacy and engaging communities. In 2023, she completed Climate Cycle, a 3,300 mile bike ride around mainland Britain on a hand-made bamboo bike. During these three months, she visited 50 communities, charities, companies, initiatives and projects that are working towards mitigating climate change.

The future of our planet doesn’t just lie in the youth’s hands, but also in the steps we take today. Positive personal wellbeing and planetary health are synonymous with success. From this passion, she’s founded a School Sustainability Course as well as offers coaching & consulting to a wide range of leaders, including Olympic athletes & CEOs.
