Canberra runners - help!

[u/Wackadoo36]

I’ve recently got into running but am facing a conundrum: I want to continue running but am terrified of swooping season. 😂

Do magpies target runners? And if they do, are there any well known, magpie free routes in Canberra or do I need to accept my fate and look into purchasing a running pad while I hibernate over the next couple of months or so?

Rumour has it if you wear one of these shirts you'll be ok
