How unadvanced is the US exactly? Why not install toilets which have to be paid for? Like you can find in any European service station. Set the price a little higher to cover their cost or maybe even make a profit.
Its pretty obvious that if you have a sports facility, human beings need bathrooms unless you want this kind of situation to occur.
They are pretty unadvanced. But they are not aware of it.

Oh what, we're blaming the infrastructure now? If only the government would provide free commodes for every one?
These degenerates were making a statement. This was a deliberate political act, not some alleged deficiency in bathrooms.
These coaches are acting like the track being closed is a huge travesty. As the article states with the track closed to the pros they can still use the dirt track in camp verde or drive 2 hours to phoenix.
The article wanted me to think that these are “bad” options but for a group of people whose only responsibility is running both are reasonable solutions. After the round trip drive (4 hrs), workout (2hrs) and gym session (1hr) they’ll still be 1 hour short of a full time job and 7-10 hours for playing video games/making Instagram posts.
It strikes me as typical coach's behavior. Unwilling to change what they've done in the past. Doesn't matter that there are plenty of alternatives, they must use the one track because that is what they have always done.
Sedona HS (55 min 4.5k ft)
Pretty reasonable alternatives at similar drive times and elevations include
I've been running 17 years now and haven't had to crap on a law or tree. I've peed but the only times I've stopped to crap is in an actually toilet in our park system. What is whmrong with you animals?
Don’t ultra runners just poop in the woods right on the race course? Elite ultra runners leading the mountain trail race drop a massive turd while they’re in the lead in the middle of a narrow section of the trail and have it there as an obstacle for the competitors and hobby joggers to have to step in

Frankly, that is amazing. I've crapped myself probably 5 or 6 times because I couldn't find a discreet location. Pooping in a wooded area or a bush, probably close to 100 times. I'd guess on average about every 500 miles.
Do you every drink alcohol? Long run whisky sihts are the worst.
A dirt track?! The horror! Certainly no world class athletes could ever do effective training on such a rustic surface. Name one gold medalist or WR holder from any country that routinely does workouts on a dirt track?
I cannot comprehend why our brave North American champions are expected to train in such primitive conditions? Who does that and achieves success?

Unfortunately I have also seen evidence that others haven't been so lucky.
I've been lucky enough to poo in bushes hundreds of times and never see another poo, until covid and the poo was concentrated outside the trail head bathroom that was locked for "health reasons"
I was watching the Boston Marathon (pre covid) from the sidelines, and at one of the late mile water stations, and someone would poop in the middle of the streets, and then a herd of trailing runners would accidentally step in it and each time I’d ROFL 🤣 🤪 It’s not like there’s anyone there to scoop the poop
