Easy peasy, move to Gauteng, we don't even have a mountain so you'll have no problems here This might be a silly suggestion but why not invite the runners for an "expedition day" type of thing? Have them stand around and watch you maniacs (and I say this in a good way) come down the trail at speed. Tell them that that is what those specific trails are there for, that is why you guys help build and maintain them. As a last "demonstration" have someone ride down as fast as he can and hit a "pinata" on the way down. And then, ask some of them if they would like to be the pinata. This is all meant in jest of course but I think a little bit of understanding goes a long way. I don't think that most runners "don't respect the speed" or whatever, maybe they are just not thinking about that when they are running. I don't know the area at all but I bet if they are informed and warned, in a polite way, that they would run somewhere else. ... and I thought you capies where all so layed back...
