Angular2 Error: Cannot find a differ supporting object '[object Object]' of type 'object'

I get this error when trying to use a pipe to filter through runners. I'm guessing it has to do with how I subscribed to observables when grabbing the runners from the database.

This is my code in the component where the runners array is defined: 

javascript
  ngOnInit() {
    this.runnerService.getRunners().subscribe(dataLastEmittedFromObserver => {
      this.runners = dataLastEmittedFromObserver;

      let thisComponent = this;
      this.runners.forEach((runner) => {
        runner = new Runner(
          runner.name,
          runner.role,
          runner.profilePic
        )
      });
    })

This is where I create the pipe: 

javascript
  transform(value: any, runnerRole) {
    var filteredRunners= this.af.database.list('runners',{
      query:{
        orderByChild: 'role',
        equalTo: runnerRole
      }
    });
    return filteredRunners;
  }

And this is where I use it in the HTML: 

html
<div *ngFor="let runner of runners | role: Leader" class="panel panel-default">

  <div class="panel-body">
    <h3 (click)="goToDetailsPage(runner)">{{runner?.name}}</h3>
    <div *ngIf="currentRoute==='/admin'">
      <app-edit-runner [selectedRunner]="runner"></app-edit-runner>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
