Not sure if anyone saw this shit show today on Seymour. I felt bad for the runners. They actually sent them down empress bypass on a Saturday.
They were all trying to not get splattered by bikers. Bikers were trying to not splatter runners.
All around just a poorly considered route choice by the organizers, in my opinion, especially since there is a hiking only trail as well as old buck running parallel. Just why?
I sent a (as polite as I could) note to the organizers giving them some feedback on this.
I forgot to mention it in my note but aside from it just not being enjoyable for anyone l, including this route in a rail run starts to imply that this trail is in general a good option for trail running, which it obviously is not.
Anyways if you experienced this, I'd encourage anyone who feels inclined to send a polite/respectful note of feedback to the organizers.
