[pct-l] running on the PCT (Laura Reed)

[aslive at charter.net]

As I recall, many of the National Parks and Forests I have visited limit 
group size to prevent damage to the trails etc.  Do not these running 
events overload the trails with people, not walking, but running and 
would that not result in impacting the trail even more in a negative 
way?
