@JenOwen That's the whole issue. The race organizers want to expand the event to 500 runners, the department doesn't want them to because that's too much for the natural resource to handle, so race management is threatening to pull out.

@VoteGloriaJ The department literally just wants them to have a sustainable amount of runners.

@EnviroCatTN @VoteGloriaJ @ashevillejam @GovBillLee @BarkleyMarathon @TheBarkley100 @runnersworld This is fake news. The park is trying to limit the Barkley Fall Classic runners numbers to under 500 entrants to help reduce the impact on the natural resources. That is all, has nothing to do with "security."

@VoteGloriaJ @GovBillLee @BarkleyMarathon @TheBarkley100 @runnersworld Please stop this rumor before it gets out of hand. The park is just trying to protect the health of their trails and wildflowers by having a reasonably sized race. It has nothing to do with "security."
