What is "road running"?
Road running is a sport where individuals compete by running on paved roads over set distances, such as 5 kilometers, 10 kilometers, half-marathons, or marathons. It became popular as an accessible way to stay fit and participate in organized races in cities or towns. The goal is to complete the course in the shortest time while maintaining endurance and speed. Unlike trail or cross-country running, road running takes place on smooth, flat surfaces, making it less technical but still demanding due to the focus on pacing and stamina.
