What are the gender issues in running? - #36

Darcy Piceu and Gina Lucrezi share thoughts on this important topic.

Trail Sisters has established 5 recommended practices for races:

1. Equal podium spots
2. Equal prize money and awards
3. Women's-specific swag (not just unisex)
4. Menstrual products at aid stations (events over a Half Marathon)
5. Opportunity for Women at the front of the Starting Line
