Tools for this tag

[W] Running is a method of terrestrial locomotion, allowing humans to move rapidly on foot. This tag is generally synonymous with sport=running, which treats running as a sport independent from the broader athletics=* (track and field).

Since this is a secondary (non-physical) tag, it should always be combined with some other feature tag. Typically, this would be a leisure=track, but there might be other features dedicated to running (e.g. stadium, fitness machine). See leisure=track for instructions how to map common 400-metre oval running tracks.
