that banned women and girls over 12

A charity run organised by the East London Mosque Trust has excluded women and girls aged 13 and over from taking part.

The Muslim Charity Run, which was held in Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets on Sunday, said on its website: "Our inclusive atmosphere ensures that every individual, from the youngest to the oldest, can take part and make a difference."

It added: "This is open to men, boys of all ages and girls under 12, but everyone is welcome at the park to cheer on the runners."

The organisers have been contacted by BBC London for comment.

The 3.1-mile (5km) event, previously known as Run 4 Your Mosque, was the 12th race to be held by organisers.

It faced criticism on social media, where people questioned why women were not allowed to take part in the race, given the focus on inclusivity.

The Mayor of Tower Hamlets sees no issue

The mayor of Tower Hamlets has defended a mosque’s decision to ban women and girls under the age of 12 from taking part in a charity fun run.

East London Mosque has been accused of breaching the Equality Act, after it imposed the restrictions on the event held in Victoria Park on Sunday.

The website claimed the event was “family friendly” and inclusive”, open to men, boys of all ages and girls under the age of 12, adding “everyone is welcome at the park to cheer on the runners”.

Prizes were presented by Tower Hamlets mayor, Lutfur Rahman, who referred to the event as a “truly inspiring community effort”.

“It was a pleasure to attend the prize-giving ceremony at the 12th Muslim Charity Run in Victoria Park, London, organised by the East London Mosque,” he wrote.

Some men just can't control themselves.
