Another Camille Herron Controversy

Marley Dickinson for Canadian Running:

Acclaimed American ultrarunner Camille Herron, who has more than 12 ultrarunning world records to her name, along with her coach and husband, Conor Holt, have found themselves at the centre of a Wikipedia controversy. It stems from several edits to the Wikipedia pages of ultrarunners Kilian Jornet and Courtney Dauwalter, which degraded their accomplishments, while also adding accolades to Herron’s own page. The edits have been traced back to Herron’s email and Holt’s IP address.

It’s important here to not just call out Camille, who’s the runner and household name, but her husband Conor Holt too, who’s known the work her social media pages and speak on her behalf in several occasions.

The fluffing of her own page is petty, but kind of funny. The repeated! altering of other people’s pages is so low, so dumb, so unprofessional and so inappropriate, at what point do her sponsors consider their options?

She’s been on top of her game for many years, has won so many titles and holds so many records. She has achieved so much for women and runners everywhere. Now this all goes down the toilet. Fantastic way of brand destruction.

Great detailed reporting by Canadian Running, by the way.
