Wouldn't a 170 lb runner pose the same risk to an elderly person? In all cases it is the responsibility of everybody using the footpath to ensure they don't put others at risk. Runners should feel free to use the footpath as part of their exercise - but they shouldn't run blindly around corners. I feel the same way about scooters - ride on the footpath all you like, but slow right down around other pedestrians or blind spots so that people both feel safe and are safe.
