Date: 2024-02-16

In this compelling video, we delve into the latest controversy shaking the foundations of the parkrun community. Amidst growing debates over transgender participation and the unexpected removal of key performance records, it seems parkrun might be avoiding the tough conversations. But is silence really the answer? We'll dissect the changes that have swept through parkrun's website, removing male, female, and age-graded records, and explore the implications these actions have for runners of all backgrounds.

This isn't just about the stats or the competition; it's a reflection of a broader societal debate on inclusivity, fairness, and identity in sports. From the voices of volunteers to the experiences of transgender athletes, we're covering all angles to understand the depth of this issue. Whether you're a parkrun regular, a concerned community member, or simply intrigued by the intersection of sports and social issues, this video is a must-watch.

We're not shying away from the difficult questions. Instead, we're inviting an open, respectful dialogue on how parkrun can navigate these waters while staying true to its core values of inclusivity and community. The discussion is far from over, and it's time to bring it to the forefront. Join us as we probe whether parkrun's actions are a step back or a move towards a more inclusive future.
