The Parkrun Controversy Explained

Marathon Handbook's Katelyn Tocci and Michael Doyle dig in to just what the heck is going on with this protracted Parkrun feud. They explain the backstory, how and why results stats, leaderboards and other competitive elements of the celebrated global 5K series have been removed in recent months, and the extended in-fighting between the organization's leadership and many of its volunteers and most devout participants. This is a clip from The Marathon Handbook Podcast.
