Today, we are going to talk about running, one of the most competitive sports played in any
sporting event. For kids looking for after school activities, running is one of the best options
that kids can try. Running requires fitness particularly on the lower parts of the body, discipline,
coordination, balance, and flexibility. In which kids can benefit of as they join the running
sports.
Let’s ŵeet the fiǀe types of running – sprint, middle and long distance, relay, and hurdling.
Sprint – A type of race over short distance or sprints is one of the most famous types of
competition in running. Sprint is a race that starts from a certain spot to the other end (finish
line). Sprinting events on Olympics has three events, 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters.
In game, sprint begins by having the racers positioned on a crouch like posture, then the racer
leans forward and move upright as the race commence and momentum picks up.

2. Middle distance – Sprint distance of 800 meters, 1500 meters and mile run are all in the middle
distance track event. Runners start from a standing position, standing on a curved line and then
when they hear the pistol they move to the innermost track and starts the race.
NOTE: On mid to longer distance races, the ability of the player to race on a top speed become
less of a factor. Pacing, in game tactics, and endurance becomes more important.

competitions.
Long Distance – 3000, 5000 and 10,000 meters race events are considered as long distance
track events. Just like the mid distance race, this event demands pacing, tactics and
endurance. Long distance competitions for both World and Olympics are held both indoor and
outdoors.
