A woman in town who runs a historically oriented bike tour business has one tour that goes through Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. It's a famous place, with all of those well known Transcendentalists and authors buried there. I ride by there, on the road, and have often wondered about going in there on my hybrid, because of the well maintained paths. I have seen runners in there, too. Since it dates from the 1600s, there's not a lot of burials going on there now.
I wouldn't mind people riding or running through the place where my mom is buried, but it's paved roads, as opposed to hard packed dirt.

I run through a cemetery with my running group regularly, usually at 5:30 a.m., although sometimes our Saturday morning runs take us through there a little later. Since we run so early, funerals are never a problem. It's common in our community for people to walk or run through the cemetery.

I stopped by our cemetary this weekend and made sure to check at the entrance for signs - There was a sign saying that it is private sacred ground, to please treat it with respect, and no athletic activities allowed.

While cemeteries creep me out, I live near one that's in the middle of a residential area and backs up to a MUP and people run through it all the time to cut through to the trail. I've never paid attention enough to notice if people ride in it. I dont find it disrespectful as long as mourners aren't bothered.

I live close to a cemetery, and I see people walking and running in it all the time. It is something of a local tourist attraction, though, as it contains the graves of some famous people.
