In HK, the female runner ratio is even lower than 20%. I notice that in most races the ratio is only about 15% or less. As a female runner myself, I also encounter the problems most female runners h ...
That's very true. It is more dangerous for women to run alone, even in the US. When I see a woman running by herself in early morning or late evening in a secluded trail, she usually runs with a big dog. In HK, you probably would need to find a few friends to run together, which is not always very easy.
There are also several reasons why there are more women runners here in the US. A big reason is that there are those charity running organizations and those charity runners are primarily women. And also because of a law (title x or title xi?), all the universities have to spend similar amount of $ on collegiate varsity sports. So, if they pay scholarships to get a man runner, they may have to do the same thing to have a women team. So, women can get into some universities free of charge if they play sports well. |
