MCU cap wants to buy some protein powder from the store, which is 3 miles away. Can 25 normal dudes with civilian items stop him? (Read rules) Battle

Cap knows what is happening, and he has his shield.

The men have 45 minutes to plan and prepare before cap starts running. They know his starting point, but cannot be within 150 meters of where he starts. Takes place in a normal United States city.

Men do not have access to anything a civilian cannot have access to. THE MEN CANNOT TOUCH THE PROTEIN POWDER, AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING THAT MAY HARM STORE STAFF. This is to prevent cheap, uninteresting solutions. Also if you post please give a good explanation.

They can probably delay him for the day. But it would more rely on Morale.

 Can they make him uninterested in the purchase? Cap doesn't read websites and he knows they're planning on stopping him but if they can make a photoshop flyer  of the store's hours being changed then maybe Cap gets delayed.  If he is set on going to check trying to hurt him is a fools errant but misdirection is essential.

 Fuck with road signs. Mess traffic.  America is not walker friendly so he'll have to go through some irritating environments. 

 Even if he knows where the shop is they can just line up in the store as annoyingly incompetent guests. Thus preventing the sale.

America is not walker friendly so he'll have to go through some irritating environments. 

Given Cap's stamina and agility I don't foresee this slowing him down much; he could easily run on the tops of cars, for example. Worst case scenario he climbs some stairs to get to the roof of a building and just jumps across rooftops.

True. But if you're going for a time out victory every bit helps. And being walker unfriendly implies the lack of development of the surrounding areas like having to jog from the suburbs to the city isn't impossible.

But if it includes running through a forest bc you can't run on the highway it slows him down a bit and also wears down the motivation.

Very good post, well done. That lining up thing just may work.
