running events

Running events are competitive races where individuals or teams compete to cover a set distance on a track or road in the shortest time. They range from short sprints like 100 meters to long-distance races such as marathons (26.2 miles). These events test speed, endurance, and strategy, with athletes varying in training and technique based on race length. Track events take place on a standard oval track, often in stadiums, while road races traverse city streets or rural routes. Overall, running events celebrate athletic skill, speed, and perseverance.
