Enjoying the beautiful CAMBA trails on foot.
Running on the CAMBA bike trails is permitted, provided that runners remain aware of cyclists and other trail users. It's essential to stay vigilant, keep to the right side of the trail, and yield to faster traffic such as bicycles. By following trail etiquette and showing respect for others, everyone can have a safe and enjoyable experience!
Safety and Etiquette for Runners on Bike Trails:
Stay to the right:
Keep to the right side of the trail to allow cyclists and other users to pass easily.
Be aware of your surroundings:
Pay attention to your surroundings, especially when approaching blind corners or hills.
Yield to faster traffic:
Bicycles are generally faster and may have less maneuverability, so be prepared to yield to them.
Don't run more than two abreast:
This allows cyclists and other users to pass comfortably.
Consider using headphones:
If you choose to wear headphones, be mindful of your surroundings and ensure you can hear approaching cyclists.
Be cautious on descents:
On steep or technical trails, it may be best to step aside to allow cyclists to pass safely.
Follow posted rules and guidelines:
Some trails may have specific rules or restrictions for different user groups.
Potential Issues:
Risk of collisions: Collisions with cyclists can occur, especially on crowded trails or at high speeds.
Uneven surfaces: Uneven terrain can increase the risk of falls or injuries.
Limited space: Some trails may be narrow or crowded, making it challenging to run comfortably.
