What is running etiquette? When I think about running etiquette, the first thing that comes to mind is always move out of the way of the faster runners- especially in a race. I know that if I were to come across a slower runner, that they would do the same for me. But many people have a lot of different rules for running. And they are also different when running a race.

What are your most important rules of the road when you are running? Do they differ when you are running a race or are they the same? I think for me, when running a race, I don’t want to fall and then cause others to fall so I do my best to keep my space from other runners. And after that, there is water stop etiquette. I think a whole book can be written on that. But I think it’s most important not to throw your used water cup at another runner. Especially if there is water in it!
