Louisiana Marathon in BR and the city looks like shite

I’m not a runner but my kid is running. On the way to pick up her race packet, I rode some of the marathon route. There’s trash in the street, downed signs, and general disrepair along the route.
There are thousands of people (runners aren’t really people) that visit the city. Least we could do is spruce up the city for the race.
Oh and we had to run through a metal detector to pick up the race packet at the River Center.

It is kind of windy

There would be a whole lot more trash on the ground if it were not for the fine folks at Keep Tiger Town Beautiful.

I commend you for your creative phrasing to avoid the picture rules.
However, how old is this marathoner?

You have a map of the route? Need to know where to avoid tomorrow

Why is your kid running 26 miles?

Hate to break it to you but marathon runners aren’t flocking to Baton Rouge’s metropolis for a little race/fun weekend.
Baton Rouge is probably the least active (runners, cyclist, etc) population I have ever seen.

That is Baton Rouge character! You want people to see a fake Baton Rouge?
Does the race packet have a sheet with advice for participants? Does it suggest running in a zig zag pattern? Or is the current advice of "run hide fight" the favored method?

Did you only ride down North Blvd which is less than a mile of hood and the only bad part of the course? Sounds like it.

Baton Rouge's dirty secret: 81 tons of litter in wetlands behind LSU's Burden Center
quote:
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Behind the flowers and the reminders of what life used to be like in Louisiana, there’s a relic to the past tucked behind the foliage at LSU’s Burden Center.
Eighty-one tons of Baton Rouge’s discarded waste sits in a 30-acre wetland. Plastic bottles, beer cans, and basketballs that have floated into the area from Wards Creek fill the swampy area, thick enough to walk on without touching the dirt beneath.

Lmao. Let’s clean the city for a foot race. We can’t clean it up for any other event and volunteers for KTTB are literally cleaning daily and the trash is still not stopping. But yeah, let’s worry about fiber filled runners who shite on the side of people’s houses while they run.

Least we could do is quit littering.
When my boys were cub scouts they picked up litter at the same spot once a month.
Every month there was more than they could pick up.
Trashy people are the reason for the trash. Nothing else.
