US Road Running

U.S. road running is a popular form of long-distance running that takes place on paved roads, sidewalks, and city streets rather than trails or tracks. It includes various race distances such as 5Ks, 10Ks, half-marathons, and marathons. Participants might run competitively or for personal fitness, often in organized events with supportive communities. Road running emphasizes endurance, pacing, and strategy, and it attracts a diverse range of ages and skill levels. Sports organizations often host these events, promoting health, community engagement, and athletic achievement across the United States.
