London Marathon stands by trans runner Glenique Frank

Marathon officials are standing behind trans runner Glenique Frank — maintaining that she did nothing wrong when she beat nearly 14,000 women in the female category of a race that is “a unique celebration of inclusivity.”

Hugh Brasher, the event director of the TCS London Marathon, spoke out a day after the 54-year-old trans woman said she feared being stripped of her medal and being banned from future races for entering the competition as female.

However, Brasher told The Post that only elite and championship competitors — which Frank is not — “are held under World Athletics rules, which exclude transgender women from elite female competition if they have gone through male puberty.”

The “mass event” — which Frank ran Sunday — is instead “a unique celebration of inclusivity and humanity,” Brasher said.

It “is an event for everyone and an event where the vast majority of those taking part are raising money for charity,” Brasher said. Frank says she’s raised at least $37,000 for charities in her 17 marathons.

“It is an event that champions inclusivity,” Brasher stressed of the “incredible challenge” of the 26.2-mile course.

“While we do list the place an individual has come, there are no prizes for this,” he stressed. Frank came 6,159th in the female category and noted that — while she did come ahead of nearly 14,000 female runners — she did not “steal any money” or podium spots.

The event director made clear that Frank did not need to remove herself from future runs at the event, including one she planned next year.

“We are committed to making the TCS London Marathon the most diverse, equitable and inclusive marathon in the world,” Brasher said of the run that also has a category for non-binary racers.

Frank ran other marathons — including the November one in New York — as a male because those races required her to register under the name and gender on her passport.

However, photos showed she still ran in a bright-red sports bra covering fake boobs, while wearing a pink wig as a city tourist.

Her London run only sparked controversy after she stopped mid-race to gush about her “girl power” and upcoming new role as “a gran — Granny G.”

That video was shared by two-time Olympic marathoner Mara Yamauchi who raged: “Males in the [female] category is UNFAIR for females.”
