Parkrun apologises after campaign name is edited out of runners’ shirts
Parkrun apologised to members of the Reality Rules Runners Club UK (RRRC) after photos from an event were edited to remove the campaign’s name from runners’ T-shirts. The group, which opposes trans women competing in women’s Parkrun events, said the images appeared to erase its protest; the edits drew online criticism.
Parkrun attributed the changes to a misinterpretation of volunteer guidance and later posted the original photos from Heaton Park in Manchester. Its guidance had advised volunteers to remove social media photos that referenced the campaign or demonstrations. The article says more than 600 runners have worn RRRC shirts and that Parkrun holds over 1,400 events each week.
