I'm not for running, but on their side:

Why should they have to stay in the same area just because someone else can't afford a truck (or car) to run with?

That's like saying the guys that have a 300 Merc can't use it, cause they'll have longer to fish since it took them less time to get there then someone with a little 50.

That kinda falls under the oar thing too. I don't think the guys with oars should be penalized because not everyone can afford a kickboat.

But, I think what it really boils down to is, 'Is running legal'? If not, put a stop to it.
