Tag:athletics=running

Running is a method of terrestrial locomotion, allowing humans to move rapidly on foot. In OSM this is normally used to map 400-metre ovals.

How to Map

Since this is a non-physical tag, it should always be combined with some other (physical) tag.
Typically, this would be a leisure=track, but there might be other features dedicated to running (e.g. stadium, fitness machine).

Examples:

• Draw a way and add leisure=track + sport=athletics
• An oval 400 m track can be mapped with a multipolygon.

A typical oval 400 m track around a ballsport pitch can be mapped with a multipolygon.

Useful combination

• lanes=*
• surface=*
• lit=*

See also
