What is trail running?

As a trail runner, you prefer to run over hill and dale. Or meadows and fields, sometimes even through forests. You don't really need mountains for that, trail running is not mountain running. You can live out your passion anywhere. The main thing is that your feet feel the natural ground. The most important thing is exercise, health, nature and the running experience. Walking in between is also okay – after all, it's your path.
