Harriet Brown is a World Ironwoman Champion, Nutri-Grain Ironwoman Series Champion, Australian Team Captain & Molokai 2 Oahu Paddleboard Champion and record holder. She is also an accomplished ocean swimmer, Exercise Physiologist, athlete mentor and coach, and public speaker.
As part of the Nutri-Grain Ironwoman Series, Harriet competes all over the Australian coast. She has travelled the world competing in Surf Life Saving and Paddleboard racing. Her passion, determination and leadership ability has seen her selected as the Captain of the Australian Surf Life Saving Team. One of her most anticipated events of the year is Lorne Pier to Pub swim, which she has won six times.
Harriet grew up in Geelong, but soon realised she’d had enough of the icy Victorian waters at Ocean Grove and wearing a full-length wetsuit. After finishing school, Harriet decided to move to the Gold Coast to study and train at Northcliffe Surf Life Saving Club. She now spends the early mornings and afternoons pushing her body to the limit.
Harriet’s passion for inspiring the next generation of female athletes has led her to create KaMana Community, alongside fellow Ironwoman, Lizzie Welborn. Together they present interactive workshops to young female athletes in schools and sporting clubs on topics that aren’t spoken enough about; body confidence, nutrition for athletes, menstrual health in sport and performance mindset.
Harriet also co-founded the Gold Coast Elite Sports Conference which brings together like-minded people from all aspects of the sporting community.
