A Boston Marathon Nike campaign, put up outside its flagship store on Newbury St. in Boston on Thursday, has the running world up in arms. The sign, which read, “Runners welcome. Walkers tolerated,” was heavily criticized for pace-shaming and not being inclusive to runners of all levels. On Friday, Nike removed the sign and issued an apology.
Geez - I fall into the walker category and find it funny.
I’ve had people walk faster than I’m running!
