Response will be that the times and placings are both completely irrelevant & that the chap with fastest time did not "win" anything, did not come "first" despite the "1" against his name.
Neither he nor the gentlemen who came in after him care one jot.
"It's just a fun run".

10 sub-15 minute 5kers ran Seaford Beach “not a race, not competitive, just a relaxed jog around a park with your mates” @parkrunUK yesterday. Do you want to guess how many were women? I wonder if they’ll get the same abuse for putting people off as @HallisseyC & @mara_yamauchi

@DanPaulman @DaveClancy90687 @sharrond62 Well positions are basically meaningless because no’s fluctuates wildly. One week I might come 124th of 313. The next week, I can come 493rd of 856. It’s totally arbitrary. And that’s before you take into account buggies, dogs, walkers… and anyone who chooses to cut-corners 🤷♂️

Parkrun can… A.Remove placing & course records & everyone run together in one big inclusive category
B. Add a category for females so they can have their own records & places based on SC law, reality & biology
English
@DaveClancy90687 @iBrett007 @sharrond62 Just to let you know Dave. Now that you have “ordered me” to shut up. I will do the exact opposite. It is now my life’s work to make Parkrun fair for women. Well done you. 👏 👏

@DaveClancy90687 @forevercoco3 @DanPaulman @sharrond62 Oh pet. You don’t get it do you? Women will never stop fighting against this nonsense. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/05/2…

@NathanielHart72 @DaveClancy90687 @HallisseyC Claire is fucking livid at primary school egg and spoon race…

The people I know speaking out for a fair women's category at parkrun don't do so with malicious intent. Most are regular parkrunners and volunteers. All of them just want equity for women. It really shouldn't be such a divisive issue.

@NathanielHart72 @DaveClancy90687 @HallisseyC You don’t have to adhere to the laws around fairness in athletic competitions if you’re not organising an athletic competition
English
@ViolaAppleton6 @DaveClancy90687 @jamesdavis6939 @parkrunUK Wow, you really want women to accept men in their category 🤦
English
The clock is ticking @parkrunUK
The female category at parkrun must be XX only.
James Davis@jamesdavis6939
The @wsusportsunion has my full support for holding parkrun to account for discriminating against females, and take legal action if necessary. Please follow their account and support them in any way you can, and together, we can achieve fairness for women and girls at parkrun.
English
@NathanielHart72 @HallisseyC No they don’t. FFS. Why is everyone so thick
English
@DaveClancy90687 @HallisseyC Even organizers of "free, non competitive fun runs" have to adhere to the law, Dave.
English
@CindyOlds2 @NathanielHart72 @HallisseyC I hope people expose you for the cunts you are. And who gives a fucking shit anyway
English
@DaveClancy90687 @NathanielHart72 @HallisseyC Yes, and clearly still have no clue how it’s funded. What a complete tosser you are. Keep going but no one really needs more proof of your ignorance.
English
@DaveClancy90687 @NathanielHart72 @HallisseyC You can’t deny the reality that parkrun is publicly funded so you jump to ‘it’s okay for men to cheat in the women’s category sometimes.’
Get over yourself and start your own discriminating event for male losers without using public funds.

@DaveClancy90687 @NathanielHart72 @HallisseyC Go do some research Dave, you’re a loud mouthed idiot who doesn’t even know how parkrun works.
English
@CindyOlds2 @NathanielHart72 @HallisseyC Yeah you just try and fucking ruin something great then because some woman had her ego bruised cos she finished 4th once
English
English
@DaveClancy90687 @NathanielHart72 @HallisseyC Public funds pay for it.
Public funds are not free.
Want you’re own discriminating “non competitive fun run,” do it on your own dime.

@mara_yamauchi @ForWomenScot @BBCRadio4 @sharrond62 280 out of thousands of results. Haha hardly worth worrying about
English
@dobssi @ForWomenScot @BBCRadio4 @sharrond62 So you support men in the Female category in parkrun?
More than 280 times, men have been 1st in the Female category. You support this, yes?
More than 20 Female records held by men. You support this?
At what level, between parkrun and the Olympics, are women & girls…
English
Please listen! 👇
I’ve written to @BBCRadio4’s You & Yours about this.👇Parkrun collects NO sex data so they cannot measure how many women are doing what, and claims like Duggan’s are meaningless. No challenge from presenter Winifred Robinson.

SEENinSport@SportSEENuk
CEO of @parkrunUK, Lil Duggan, was on @BBCRadio4 claiming a real success in increasing the participation of women, “Parkrun is really proud we have almost parity of genders” Parkrun’s self-ID policy allows any male to register in the ‘female’ category; invalidating their claims

@mara_yamauchi @ForWomenScot @BBCRadio4 @sharrond62 It’s parkrun, Mara, not the Olympics.
Leave it alone.

Paul sees injustice but decides he can tolerate it as it doesn’t affect him
It affects Mara who finds it intolerable
Paul tolerates the injustice, but he just can’t tolerate Mara fighting the injustice
Paul fights against Mara
Mara still fights against injustice
Be more Mara
Paul C of 🏴 och 🇸🇪@dobssi
@mara_yamauchi @ForWomenScot @BBCRadio4 @sharrond62 It’s parkrun, Mara, not the Olympics. Leave it alone.
English
@Naeluckmate @iBrett007 @sharrond62 No one cares about the categories apart from this pathetic minority who have no idea what parkrun is about.
I’m ordering you.
Shut up.
Do the ironing. Shush
That’s better
English
@DaveClancy90687 @iBrett007 @sharrond62 So men can participate in the three other categories that are available while leaking the female category alone.
English
@NathanielHart72 @HallisseyC It’s a free, non competitive fun run FFS. What you gonna do, ask for a refund 🤡
English
@DaveClancy90687 @HallisseyC Obey the law or get sued.
English
@Naeluckmate @forevercoco3 @DanPaulman @sharrond62 It’s only an issue for those using parkrun to pursue a totally unrelated agenda.
Thankfully most people can see through this so you will make NO DIFFERENCE
English
@DaveClancy90687 @forevercoco3 @DanPaulman @sharrond62 It’s clearly not. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/05/2…

@KentPiano @ghostofgoose5 @waitrose Totally irrelevant.
Plus having to wait to pay doesn’t sound like freedom to me haha
English
@DaveClancy90687 @ghostofgoose5 @waitrose Cash is freedom
Freedom is never inconvenient
Look how many died in WW2 for freedom
