Trail runners talk about Leave No Trace.
But what about road runners?
In this episode of the I Don’t Know Running Podcast, we dive into the unwritten rules of road running — the small behaviors that shape how the public sees runners.
Because running isn’t a solo sport.
Drivers see you.
Walkers see you.
Homeowners see you.
Cyclists see you.
And whether we realize it or not, every runner represents all runners.
We talk about:
Running group etiquette (two-abreast awareness)
Shared-use paths and bike path behavior
Corral honesty on race day
Aid station flow
Gel wrappers and micro-trash
Bathroom planning (yes… that conversation)
Traffic laws runners ignore
The “public tolerance budget” for runners
The reality?
Every time a runner blows a red light, startles a walker, tosses trash, or blocks a sidewalk… it affects how the next runner is treated.
So how do we protect the sport we love?
Let’s talk about it.
👇 What’s the biggest etiquette mistake runners make?
Or what’s something you’ve learned over time?
