Is running/jogging in a cemetery disrespectful?

Can't you jog around it? Cemetery is a place where people mourn not do New Years resolutions.

Nothing wrong with walking through a cemetery. Why not slow down to very brisk walk through it. That is sill good exercise.

If you do run, it goes without saying to avoid the usual jogger activities of loud music on headphones, snot rockets and spitting.

Walk through the cemetery, then run again.

What if there was a procession and I jogged past it?

Nothing wrong with it.

Nope, do it all the time

Not at all, I don't understand how someone could get offended but then I know people are too sensitive these days..

These days? Yes probably you're right in general but in years gone past I'd imagine you'd have gotten stoned or flogged for jogging in a cemetery!

Going by your second post I think your now just being silly or trolling.

Personally I'd not be offended either, assuming I hadn't just buried a loved one. But just picture the scenario where you go in for a jog and all looks clear, then you jog right into the finishing touches of a funeral ceremony. That will likely offend someone and leave you feeling like a tool.

I wouldn't have a problem skipping through let alone running.

Nope. Walk through a cemetery almost every day at lunch time at work. Nothing wrong with jogging through as long as you're respectful to other users. Cycling through at speed is disrespectful though imo - amazing how many people I see doing this.

Socaddict · 2 Jan 2017 at 14:03

Nope. I run through the cemetery near mine quite often myself.

Why would you feel like a tool? You'd have to care about their feelings to do so.. and I'm not trolling, I'm asking questions based on how I am.. and I know what you're thinking, I'm a ****.

So from can we take that you don't care about other people's feelings?

depends how many are chasing you.

Sliver · 2 Jan 2017 at 14:15

Jog on softie.

AHarvey · 2 Jan 2017 at 14:17

nope, and if anyone does say anything just point out that all the dead people is great motivation to exercise and avoid an early grave yourself

^ Can you work it out so you take a breath here

Either way - No its not disrespectful. It is a park in reality just one that commemorates the dead. As long as you're not running over graves it is fine I think.

Try not to jog past anyone being put in the ground, some families still have a grave side ceremony after a church service.

just a park?

may as well jog through the local golf course too

then maybe through a field of lama's

then maybe do some laps round the perimeter of the airport

Correct.
