When will Parkrun stop being unfair to females?

Solidarity.

Jordan Johnson, a male, took 🥈today in the women's 3/4/5 at the CSU Oval Criterium in Fort Collins, CO.

Johnson took a podium spot and upgrade points from women.

Hey USA Cycling: males are standing on women's cycling podiums every weekend. Why have a women's category at all?

parkrun UK Yes at the fantastically friendly and supportive @stewartparkrun

When will parkrun UK listen to their parkrunners and volunteers and restore fairness to the female results?

parkrun UK Certainly did, parkrun UK

This is the usual “females just need to try harder” excuse

If there was no advantage to being male, then after transitioning from the male to female category, there would be no magical leap up the rankings.

#ProtectTheFemaleCategory

How in the world is this right men celebrating finishing top of the women’s category! These are for the women & these men are a disgrace! What message does this give to women & girls? You don’t matter but men do that’s what parkrun UK are saying!

Keep up the brilliant work raising awareness of the unfairness to females in the parkrun UK results

At least 2 males celebrated being the first female finisher today and others were in the top 3

Shame on you parkrun

Lovely parkrun, fabulous volunteers & stunning location!

Not so stunning is that any male can enter in the female category & parkrun UK allows it !

Wildlife Thankyou 🙏

It seems like there is a massive disconnect between the friendly local event teams and the ignoring and censorship from parkrun UK HQ “support “

Or you can do DIY signs to raise awareness of parkrun UK unfair self ID policy

This one is well used

I think violetvend.com/product-page/s… will be getting more orders after today

#TruthIsNotHate yet parkrun UK still continue to discriminate against women by allowing males into the female category this skews the results for women making it unfair!

Cathy Devine Mara Yamauchi Me too 👋, 💯 agree, it would have been easy for her to sit back and ignore what's happening now she's retired from competitive running.

And another one. Mara Yamauchi is an absolute hero for speaking out about the importance of female-only categories. She follows in a long tradition of sportswomen fighting for equality & non-discrimination in sport. I could not have more admiration for her.
Warrior woman.

Finally, reminder that non-binary categories are mixed sex & reward male performance advantage. This makes them effectively second male categories. They therefore indirectly discriminate against female non-binary runners. Particularly problematic if prize money is offered.
