A group of trans runners trying to increase representation and fight transphobia through participating in public running events.
Transphobes have tried to push trans people out of events like these, but we are here to show we belong and are welcome in these spaces, just as we should be welcome everywhere.
We look forward to showing our results and sharing our experiences with you.

April is going to be a BIG month for Tranathon as we have members participating in both the Brighton Marathon (April 7) and the London Marathon (April 21).
We are excited and proud to represent the trans community in these events.

They just think trans people are fake. Simple as that.
The whole “advantage” idea is a distraction from that core belief which can be dropped in a heartbeat when they don’t think they need it anymore.

There are hundreds of Parkruns across the UK and Ireland alone, so find one local to you and consider getting involved.

We would encourage trans people to sign up for their local Parkruns, not just to make use of this wonderful resource, but to show that we are welcome and belong in these events just as we belong in all areas of public life.

They rightfully point out that, just as with proposed restrictions on trans people's access to public restrooms, enacting trans exclusionary policy would require invasive and impractical checks of peoples' gender.

Parkruns are a wonderful opportunity for community and exercise that should be open and welcoming to all. These groups seek to change that. We are glad that Parkrun has stood firm on this matter, making clear on their website that they retaining their self-identification policy.

Transphobia in sports has largely centred around high-level professional sports and school sports (and those are also discriminatory). But they are now expanding to any public physical activity. This is an effort to expand anti-trans bigotry into wider aspects of public life.

Modern transphobia has often centred around sport, including public mixed-gender events such as these. We’re trying to push back against that by encouraging and celebrating trans participation in running.
