Human Factors; Airport; Procedure
Well into takeoff roll; above 100 knots; I observed a person exiting the left side of the runway. The person was well clear of the left wingtip and I took no evasive action to avoid the person. Once safely airborne; the Captain reported the position of the person to RNO tower.
On takeoff roll out of RNO (16R-First Officer flying); I noticed a young man walking along the edge of the runway while we were rolling down the runway. After liftoff; I reported it to the tower; and they diverted the other landing aircraft to runway 16L. Not really sure what this guy was doing walking on the runway; or what his intentions were.
A319 Captain reported a person was observed walking along and exiting the left side of the runway during takeoff roll.
