Let’s clarify a few things:

1. The decision to make this change came from an extensive review of incidents
2. More than 10% of incidents at parkrun events involve dogs
3. It categorically has nothing at all to do with finish times
4. It is about safety of all participants

5. We take our responsibility to ensure safe participation for all seriously
6. We can and will make changes when we deem it necessary
7. We are not banning dogs at parkrun
8. Only the use of waist harnesses (attached to the person) and long leads
