A coach and a group of young cross‑country runners have raised safety concerns after a homeless RV camp that had previously been cleared re‑established on the Green Lake trail in Seattle this September.
The trail, widely used for cross‑country races and regarded as a premier racing route in the city, now includes the camp’s structures, which the athletes say could pose hazards for runners on the course.
Camp residents have returned to the path, prompting the warning from the coach and runners about the potential risks for athletes using the course.
