Every single time the leaders came to the hill, or onto dirt the camera ATV just blew dust in their faces, its inconsiderate and I am surprised none of the winners mentioned it. Amazing event, however is the dust from the ATV one of the course obstacles too?
Because the dirt was dry.
I saw this too, and thought they should do something about it.... I guess the lead ATV should be further ahead, or something? It'd almost maybe be a wise strategy to sit a few meters back from the leader so you breathe in less dust, I'd imagine it'd help your breathing so you can run better later as the leaders suffer from dust-lung.
The broadcast mentioned a water truck hosing down the course between races. So they tried to remedy the problem.

FLN is a great race, but that truck needs to go. The solution is not spraying a little water, but getting rid of the truck that's causing the problems. If I had to run in that dust I'd for sure be at least a minute or two slower than usual or else wear a mask. There must be a lot of much better alternatives than kicking up a storm of dust all the way.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
