A free-running community has been targeted again for allowing trans women to compete in the women’s category.

Parkrun is a global organization with events each Saturday and Sunday in more than 20 countries around the world, according to its website. It offers several different distances for people to participate in.

The organization allows participants to allow people to identify with their gender instead of the sex assigned at birth. It also allows a range of options for people who identify as nonbinary.

I don't get why gender/sex is relevant information for sign-up in any way for noncompetitive fun-runs...just let people sign up, you barely even need a name, just give them a registration number on sign up that they can use to pick up their bib (if that's even used)
