Camille Herron Receives Support from the Sport & Rights Alliance While Advancing Athlete Safety and Integrity

February 9, 2026 Camille Herron

Thank you so much to the Sport & Rights Alliance for your funding support and solidarity ⚖️✊.

Their work helps connect individuals impacted by harm in sport with critical legal, wellbeing, and safety resources.

I’ve been vocal about being a whistleblower who stood up for the safety and integrity of our sport. Speaking up came at a personal cost, and navigating the impact of this experience has required ongoing support, care, and resilience.

I’m deeply grateful for the Sport & Rights Alliance and for the Athlete Network for Safer Sports— a community that understands the lived experience of advocating for safety, accountability, and fairness in sport.

There is still important work ahead 🔨. I’ll continue doing my best to help move our sport toward being safer, more inclusive, equitable, and fair for everyone 🤲🌍.

Published April 8, 2025

In the summer of 2024, I whistleblew to the International Association of Ultrarunners (IAU) and other organizations, raising legitimate and well-supported concerns about rule violations in the sport that breached World Athletics competition rules. The IAU validated my concerns twice—while also reaffirming at the time that I continued to hold the IAU World Records for 48Hrs and 6 Days [HERE].

I deeply care about upholding the integrity of the sport and ensuring fairness, respect, and good sportsmanship for all athletes.

In response, I faced retaliation—including false, unfounded, and damaging claims and narratives spread in the media and across social media platforms….
