Parkrun said it had removed data such as speed records from its website to make it less “offensive” for new entrants.
From now on, data such as most first-place finishes, men's times under 17 minutes and women's times under 20 minutes, age grade and category records will no longer be made public.
Parkrun said it is working to “find ways to remove barriers to registration and participation”.
The announcement comes amid criticism for allowing transgender women to join the women's division.
In December, think tank Policy Exchange announced that an analysis found at least three female parkrun records were held by transgender women.
Parklan told BBC Sport that the club had been considering making such changes to the data it publishes even before the coronavirus pandemic, and that the decision was not in response to transgender issues.

“We strive to ensure the information we share is consistent with our values, and we continue to look for ways to remove barriers to registration and participation in everything we do.
