The Queensland University of Technology has updated how they allocate prize money for female runners in the QUT Classic after being accused of sexism.
Brisbane runner, Alexandra Blake, was the first female across the line in the women’s five kilometre race category over the weekend and was angered when she did not receive any prize money unlike the winner of the men’s race.
QUT said it was an “oversight” and they will now award to the top three male and female runners.
