Trail running is a sport that involves running on hiking trails, often through natural environments such as forests, mountains, and parks. Unlike road running, trail running is characterized by varied terrain, which can include uneven surfaces, rocky paths, steep inclines, and declines. The activity emphasizes endurance, agility, and navigation skills, as runners must adapt to changing conditions and obstacles. Trail running can vary in distance, ranging from short runs to ultra-marathons, and may take place in various weather conditions.
