Ironman World Champion Chelsea Sodaro Announces Unlocking Yes 2.0, A Napa Valley Experience Supporting Athlete-Mothers

June 22, 2026

The two-day event, benefiting For All Mothers+, brings together movement, conversation, and community, with professional gravel cyclist Isabel King joining Chelsea Sodaro as a featured speaker.

June 22, 2026 /SPORTSWIRE WOMEN/ – Ironman World Champion and mother Chelsea Sodaro will host the second edition of Unlocking Yes on October 24–25, 2026, in St. Helena, California. The two-day experience brings together cycling, running, chef-driven farm-to-table dining, and meaningful conversation while raising funds and awareness for For All Mothers+, the nonprofit organization working to eliminate the motherhood penalty and create a world where mothers can thrive without sacrificing their health, careers, or ambitions.

“This weekend is an opportunity to bring people together around movement, connection, and excellence while supporting the important work For All Mothers+ is doing to end the motherhood penalty,” said Sodaro.

The event will feature an intimate fireside conversation moderated by Naomi Clarkson, Head of Marketing at Momentous, exploring the intersection of sport, motherhood, performance, and women’s health. Joining Sodaro as a featured speaker and panelist is professional gravel cyclist Isabel King.

“It is a dream come true to have Iz King join our panel this year,” said Sodaro. “She embodies excellence both on and off the racecourse. Iz has shown what is possible when female athletes are able to pursue their ambitions authentically through every phase of life and career. Her impact extends far beyond racing.”

Isabel’s career has become a powerful example of what is possible when women are given the support, resources, and opportunity to thrive both as athletes and as mothers.

“I’m so honored to be part of Unlocking Yes,” said King. “I can’t wait to meet everyone and be part of the inspiring conversations that make this weekend so special. Between the run, ride, and time together in Napa Valley, it’s going to be an incredible experience. And I’ll definitely need to keep logging my stroller miles if I want to keep up on the group run.”

A Weekend of Movement and Meaning

The weekend begins Saturday afternoon with a group run sponsored and supported by On Running through the rolling hills of Napa Valley. Guests will then gather at the picturesque Gott Family Ranch for a fireside discussion followed by a farm-to-table dinner prepared by acclaimed Chef Matthew Accarrino, featuring seasonal Northern California ingredients and wines from the Gott Family Ranch vineyards.

On Sunday, participants will take part in a fully supported cycling experience through the rolling hills of wine country. Guests will have access to Ventum’s premium bike demo fleet. The weekend concludes with a celebratory lunch and community gathering.
