@JerryManderkx @trailtreaderxx @mara_yamauchi There’s a lot of misinformation about.
I wonder why no one was complaining about men in the women’s category for the first 15 years. It was happening

[Jogging Jeff @JoggingJeff5k]

@JerryManderkx @trailtreaderxx @mara_yamauchi I don’t. I’m confused at what caused people’s opinions to change on parkrun when very little has changed. Men were setting records in the women’s category years before the outrage started.

@neilDCFC @Badgergrrrl @mara_yamauchi Sounds like a nasty piece of work but not sure what parkrun can do about it.

It doesn’t address the questions asked about documentation required on the day and who does the investigating at event level.

[Jogging Jeff @JoggingJeff5k]

@Kyogo_eth @mara_yamauchi Missed laps, corners cut, used a family members barcode.

@itsafrogslife @neilDCFC @DAG_2013 @mara_yamauchi @solange_lebourg Thought the event teams would have been the first to hear about this if it was true.

[Jogging Jeff @JoggingJeff5k]

@aramando @Petersbrooking @scottjelfs @anon_opin They have always published times
The volunteers have no way of checking what category people are registered in until the results are published later on that day.

[Jogging Jeff @JoggingJeff5k]

@scottjelfs @anon_opin How was the original model different to what it is now? When do you think they changed?

[Jogging Jeff @JoggingJeff5k]

@HallisseyC @doreynick The issue hasn’t even been highlighted to me at all. Runners often mention small gripes or personal opinions about parkrun in an informal capacity and this subject has never been mentioned.

[Jogging Jeff @JoggingJeff5k]

@doreynick @HallisseyC I must have been at well over 700 parkruns mostly as a volunteer and no one has ever complained about this to me.

@Janet88801 He’s gone in to the office.
One of the things Reform have been saying public servants should be doing more often.

@SportSEENuk @DCMS What sporting event is that picture from?

[Jogging Jeff @JoggingJeff5k]

@NeilThin @JennyAscendant @neilDCFC @parkrun Hasn’t it been gender self ID in the sign up since day 1? Why was no one complaining until recently?

[Jogging Jeff @JoggingJeff5k]

@mytw68 Haven’t the rules been the same since day 1 ?

[Jogging Jeff @JoggingJeff5k]

@MadMummy4 @beccajiggens @parkrunUK You haven’t noticed some of your supporters are tweeting the likes of Tommy Robinson, Laurence Fox and other right wing agitators?
Puts the campaign in a negative light

@SarahLudford @sharrond62 Have you ever been to a parkrun? In what way was the one you visited specifically excluding women?

[Jogging Jeff @JoggingJeff5k]

@liziaqua88 @parkrunUK parkrun started in 2004 why weren’t the rules questioned until recently?
