Trail Running

Trail running is one of the variant on running. It differs markedly from road running and track running. Trail running generally takes place on hiking trails and mountain trails, most commonly single track trails, although fire roads are not uncommon. The trails tend to traverse varying terrain; hills, mountains, deserts, forests, and narrow passages are common. Sometimes the trail is so steep that it requires hiking or scrambling. Runners participating in trail runs must often descend these same steep grades. It is not unusual for trail runs to ascend and descend thousands of meters.

 

There are as many variations of trail running as there are runners. Many individuals prefer running trails for daily training and exercise, while other trail runners spend weeks out in the backcountry.
