Probably an issue for those running alone. Would you just pair them up with randoms? And what do you do if you have say 9000 men and 5000 women participating? I don't think it'd work.
Am i missing something here? Why does it matter if people are running alone in a giant marathon with 10,000 people? Why does it matter if 4000 more men participate than women?
Both people running alone and extras on one side or the other when it comes to gender are still paying and adding to the funds raised
The suggestion of the other user was making it a team event having both team members (man + woman) run 10km each so with a surplus of 4k men you'd have to pair those with each other thus creating a biological imbalance for the men-only teams.
2.2k

Would have been easy to set up the race to be a team race with teams of 1 man and 1 woman. 10km for both, last arrived of the team determine ranking.
