Running in the Park?

What is there to run to at Hershey? Candy?

;)

How does one avoid from laughing at idiots like that when they are yelling at you?

Just power walk. It's faster than regular walking and you are still not running.

I can see how it would be a problem if you were sprinted at full speed and dodging in and out of people. But if you were in the front of the line to begin with and you were just jogging, that's not a problem at all IMO. That cop is an @#!

Here's my take. Ava and I were at the park this morning (only a short day for us, but fun nevertheless.) We walked up through the ERT side of the midway just as 'God Bless America' was finishing up, and got to witness the running in all its splendor.

Actually thinking of this conversation, I watched and listened to staff as the bulls charged past. I never heard a solitary warning or word of caution.

On the other hand, the 'running' was primarily really jogging, or running at a moderate pace, which is a much more controlled activity than a full-on sprint. I'm guessing it's the latter that sometimes brings out the admonitions.

So perhaps the policy should be, "Safe running is permissible, but no sprinting." On the other hand, I can't see how they'd enforce such a policy, and it definitely opens up holes of corporate culpability in the event of an accident.
