“Mass participation” versus elite race.

The charity runners, club runners and legends wearing fancy dress as opposed to the pros running for standings. So “the participants in the mass participation event” actually makes sense.

I agree it makes sense but it's redundant and lazy writing. But it's 2022. I need to get used to the fact that journalistic standards are a thing of the past.
