I am so very excited to introduce the first of our 2026 Professional triathletes - Kerry Morris!
We’re incredibly proud to welcome this amazing mum of two to the FOHER Co Family. Kerry represents the strength, patience and grit it takes to show up in life, and with a wee family in tow as she tackles the PRO field, we are in awe! Kerry is leading the way for women in our sport proving that performance doesn’t end when motherhood begins. I mean, sure she is a PRO and super speedy, but choosing to return to racing among the elite after having her bubs is something else! We’re honoured to support Kerry in this next chapter of her life as she races, evolves and inspires the next generation of mums chasing their full potential.
I hope you enjoy learning more about this supermum!

Redefining the Finish Line - Kerry Morris on Motherhood and her return to PRO racing
'My name is Kerry Morris and I'm on a journey to see what happens when hard work and determination meets the softness and patience required from motherhood!

I first fell in love with triathlon in 2015 when I was working FIFO in WA as an engineer. Being a swimmer as a kid gave me a good start and I earnt my professional licence in 2017. In my second race as a professional I finished on the podium in 3rd at Busselton 70.3 with the fastest bike time!
I soon realised that triathlon is a sport that rewarded hard work and commitment, something that really appealed to me. Also the community around triathlon got me hooked and I felt like I'd found my people.

In 2020 I took a break from professional racing to have 2 beautiful kids, who are now 4.5 and 2.5 years old. For the last 1.5 years I have been building back my fitness, recently getting back to a level of fitness where I am starting to feel in the mix when racing again. Racing and training after kids has been such an amazing experience. Becoming a mother has been a transformation where I'm not 'trying to get my old self back' but rather becoming a better version of myself. For me, the drive has always been to see what I am capable of. Becoming a parent has pushed me to find strength and patience I didn't know I had, which I now find very useful in the ups and downs of sport.

My 2026 season so far has resulted in a first place at Kingy Tri, a good hit out at Hell of the West and then a win at Mooloolaba Triathlon. I'm throwing a few short course races in the mix now and did the Luke Harrop Oceana Cup and the hard and fast super sprint at the Gold Coast as part of my build. Now that I'm back competing at a high level I plan on travelling overseas to race. My first stop will be China, where I plan on racing 2 continental cups in May. Then I will decide whether I'll continue to try and qualify for the 2028 Olympics or race professionally in the half ironman distance triathlons.
I'm very excited to partner with FOHER Co as it's not just a brand, it is a community. Racing with a team behind me adds meaning to my racing and I'm proud to have FOHER Co on my side.'
