UltraChallenge Course Sabotage

Brad Meyer

Sometime during the week prior to the 2013 Baker Trail UltraChallenge, Brad Meyer sabotaged trail blazes at more than five places around Crooked Creek. At certain intersections, he removed turning blazes and painted new blazes in the wrong direction so that runners would miss those turns, causing some to lose up to 25 minutes searching for the proper direction. Fortunately we discovered most of the vandalism before the majority of runners encountered it, but dozens were confused and frustrated by it.

Brad Meyer says he did this because he believes we treated him unfairly by banning him from our events (because of repeated complaints about his inappropriate behavior). He indicates that he will continue such actions unless we rescind his ban.
