Adventure running

Adventure running is the sport of running over a variety of surfaces (dirt, road, mountain, sand), generally over long distances, where the racer has to overcome nature. Challenges include river crossing, scrambling, snow, extreme high or low temperatures, and high altitudes.

While involving endurance similar to ultramarathon or multiday races, an adventure run is a non-competitive personal challenge.

Routes are often point-to-point and scenic, a long-distance trail, or canonical for example Land's End to John O'Groats or London to Brighton.

Adventure running is less known than trail running or mountain running.

Adventure running is very similar to the running section from an adventure race (which can include orienteering).
