    I am writing to urge the U.S. Forest Service to retain the 2001 Roadless Rule and select the No Action Alternative in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement and proposed rule. As a runner, I value roadless areas because they provide the quiet, undeveloped, backcountry experiences that make running in national forests meaningful. These places offer more than scenery. They protect clean water, intact habitat, connected trail experiences, and the sense of wildness that draws people outdoors in the first place. For runners, roadless areas are training grounds, places of personal renewal, and the setting for many of the events and traditions that define running culture. They also support rural communities that benefit from recreation-based visitation. Opening these landscapes to more road construction and logging would fragment trails, degrade the running experience, and permanently diminish some of the last wild places left in the National Forest System. I support keeping the Roadless Rule in place as a clear safeguard for these lands. Please reject rescission and preserve the existing Roadless Rule protections. Thank you for considering my comment.
