Marathon Men, Women and Others

The host of the Boston Marathon, the Boston Athletic Association, announced today that non-binary runners won't have to register in the men's or women's division for next April's race. Instead, they'll be able to choose a non-binary option.

I'm pleased that the BAA is boosting inclusivity.

But I'm afraid the BAA's inclusivity will never stretch to the sort of person I am, namely the sort who would count herself lucky to complete the course in a blistering three weeks.
