So, the national press have today printed a story basically saying that runners at the Bunny Runs usually trample hundreds of toads to death, and that due to Coronavirus, this year the wildlife could flourish for a change.

Admittedly I haven't done a BR for a couple of years but it's the first i've ever heard of it. I did check my watch and it's not April 1st just yet.

What with any form, length or location of exercise being cause for incredible abuse on social media (and here!), is this just another excuse to have a dig?? The article was heavily swayed towards the toad-lovers point of view, all but glossing over the fact that Bradford Council & Wharfedale Harriers weren't aware of any issue.

I thought it was a fairly poorly done piece, but judge for yourselves.
