"Our inclusive atmosphere ensures that every individual, from the youngest to the oldest, can take part and make a difference."
"This is open to men, boys of all ages and girls under 12, but everyone is welcome at the park to cheer on the runners."
A charity run organized by the East London Mosque Trust in Victoria Park excluded women and girls aged 13 and over from participating. Event information stated the run was open to men, boys of all ages, and girls under 12, while welcoming everyone at the park to cheer on runners. The race covered 3.1 miles (5km) and was the 12th edition of the event, previously known as Run 4 Your Mosque. The exclusion of older females drew criticism on social media, with people questioning the contrast between the stated inclusive atmosphere and the participant restrictions.
