RECORDS WIPED BY PARKRUN HQ AT ALL LOCAL PARKRUNS!



RECORDS WIPED FROM PARKRUN HQ: 

It seems that parkrun have decided to wipe out all the records for the first finishers and all age cat record holders at all parkruns with immediate effect. 

TV news reader and keen park runner Sophie Raworth is trying to gauge some reaction from parkrunners. Today she said: "Any parkrun record holders out there who have just had their records wiped and want to talk about it on the news? Why it matters to you - if it does - that your record is no longer there etc?"

So what is the reasoning behind this action? I have not seen any notification from my local parkrun, or their HQ. Are they likely to stop recording finishing times and age cat results too? I can't understand the logic of this decision, and their failure to consult with runners etc.

What do park runners feel about this. No official notification given!

  1. A somewhat over reaction to what was justified criticism of allowing biological men to hold female records. I also believe that a number of age records are a result of little porkies being told about DOBs. Not overly fussed about loss of a couple of age group records I held but they did provide an interesting challenge when parkrun touring.

  2. One of the good things about parkrun was that as an older runner you could try and be top of your age group. That has now been taken away. I will not be going to parkrun again.
