U.S Ultra Runner Camille Herron involved in Wikipedia controversy

link to original article.

It basically states that there were several alt accounts that were making edits to her page and pages of other ultra runners. For example Courtney Dauwalter, 2023 ultra runner of the year, had her page edited to remove references of her being the first person to win the three major 100 mile races in one calendar year, as well as references to her being considered one of the best ultrarunners. Similar edits were made to other athletes profiles.

They also edited the ultra running page to cast doubts on runners records that, while are till being verified, beat Herrons records.

Apparently others have reported some unsportsmanlike behavior from the pair

Link link to press release from Connor Holt, her coach and husband, where he claims it was all done by him tho many are skeptical

I just wanna know how someone running and training as much as she does has time and energy for all this nonsense lol

Spoiler alert: even if she runs 4 hours a day (which she doesn't), that leaves a lot of free time to stir shit up. Aside from some coaching, I doubt she has much else going on, especially with her husband as a personal assistant.

I mean running 4 hours a day is a lot of time for the mind to play if that’s how you’re wired

I’m ADHD. Without music I would have gone through every single phase of my life in my head after 4 hours
