Runners shouldn’t have to guess where the course is.

Sadly I think its done on purpose, almost no meet I ever did was clear on markings especially if 2 sections are close to each other.

Every serious meet I have ever run, (high-school and College XC) had someone to direct traffic at every course fork, and was clearly marked. Some two team friendly on Tuesday probably not well market, but never a serious meet.

I only did cross in high school so can’t speak for anything outside of that while there were people at various points of the track I don’t remember all too often someone directing to make sure a wrong turn wasn’t made

Then the kicker other people were like we ran through the course and I’m like once isn’t something that is going to allow me to remember every twist and turn.

Yeah, just follow the person in front of you. If you’re in front, if you fuck up, everyone fucks up
