How many times have bear threads come up and we
get told you don't have to worry about black bears.

When was the last time you were at a run that had armed guards?

People experienced with bears have told me that Black Bears are more likely to carry out an attack verses a bluff charge than other bears if they do not avoid humans.

No, just the last time you saw a race that had armed guards period. I already know you have no Alaskan experience.

Yeah, thats kind of my point.
BM attracts about 500K spectators, and 30K runners.
Even then, they don't really have armed guards. They have police. Not really the same thing. And I'd bet that atleast prior to the whole bombing thing, they probably used the majority of the police on hand as traffic guards than as actual security.
Certainly not a reasonable idea for a run in rural AK that probably had less than 100 runners, and probably a dozen or so spectators/staff.
If there were 200 people there, I'd be absolutely shocked.
