Snake, Dumb Runner has learned.

The report came yesterday from a runner on a local trail, who noticed the reptile directly in front of him midway through his run.

“Snake!” said Chester Turley, 34, stopping abruptly. He pulled out his phone to photograph the creature, who ultimately slithered across the path and disappeared into some bushes.

Before resuming his run, Turley paused to share the photo on Instagram and Twitter.

“Snake!” he wrote, adding a shocked face emoji.

Experts who later examined the photo confirmed Turley’s report.

“Snake!” said Henry Albert Azaria, professor of herpetology at Middlebury College.

“Holy shit.”
