Such a shame - in case you can read this Parkrun to delete runners' statistics as it prepares to double down in records row (telegraph.co.uk)
Well that's annoying (I got to read enough of the article before the paywall kicked in). It strikes me as a pretty wrong-headed move by Parkrun, in fact the whole thing does. I don't really understand why they think that the existence of the statistics is any kind of impediment to inclusivity. Parkrun is a wonderful thing, but this seems so petty and odd.
