[quote=Anonymous]I was running on the Mt. Vernon trail this morning. If you're familiar with the trail, it's well traveled, with lots of runners, cyclists, and walkers - especially on the weekend. It's maybe 5' wide or so, with marks down the middle noting lanes for direction.

Ahead of me were a group of 3 joggers, all running side by side, with the 3rd person well into to lane in the other direction. I'm coming up behind them (running) and looking for an opportunity to pass, as they were going pretty slow. I wait for the clear of oncoming cyclist/running traffic, and look behind me to make sure no one's coming up fast from behind me as well, and make a quick gun to pass the group of 3, and try to ease quickly into staying on the right side of the trail (obviously in front of them). I hear one of them say "that's rude" but ignore them, and continue running.

Was I rude? Was I supposed to alert them somehow? I made sure it was clear, but it was difficult to pass them, since the 3 people were running next to each other and taking up 3/4 of the trail.

What's the etiquette for these kinds of situations??[/quote]
