Carpathius Mar 2016 8:16am, 7 Mar 2016 8,965 posts	Quote Pin Carpathius Runners who drop litter. They make me so angry I could scream. Yesterday's rural race course was filled with gel wrappers and the little bits that come off the top when you open them. The bad excuse of 'nowhere to put the empties' doesn't wash with me. If you choose to take gels or whatever with you then you need to give some thought to how to carry the wrappers.

At the 10k race I organise, runners are instructed to hold onto any litter until they pass a marshal at each km marker. It doesn't take much but some people/runners don't think like that.

Wriggling Snake Mar 2016 10:31am, 7 Mar 2016 11,303 posts	Quote Pin Wriggling Snake I think car drivers are the worst for litter. However if you look closely at litter it seems to be takeaway food, sweet wrappers and cans of drink. I quite like the idea of limiting fast food places and making if more difficult for the fatties to get their fatty sugary food. I do not know how you would enforce it. TRO everyone produces the odd floater.
