To be honest it's a bit of a "other people might be offended" moment than actually personally being offended. I was just trying to explain the general sentiment against the campaign.

I agree with you that it has no place at a Parkrun. There are many people who come out with no previous experience in any physical activity and feel quite insecure, even just walking. The anxiety associated with that makes it easy to misinterpret innocent humour as passive aggressiveness.
