Answer: 8 runners

Step-by-step explanation:

If you mean that " if each person runs one more mile than the previous runner" then:

First person = 1

Second person = 1+1

.....

(1)+(1+1)+(1+1+1)+(1+1+1+1)+(1+1+1+1+1)+(1+1+1+1+1+1)+(1+1+1+1+1+1+1)+(1+1+1)

1  +   2 +    3    +     4      +       5       +         6        +            7         +    3  =31

(the last runner runs less miles then needed)

8 runners
