Red Ribbons and Flags

Red flag trail marker

I wish that the people who had marked the running route for last week's event would return and remove the red flags and ribbons they put out to mark the trail.  I understand that the color red stands out well in the desert, allowing for ease of following, but it also stands out annoyingly well when all the runners are gone.
