Running is by far one of the most popular sports in America. From a simple jog in the park to the grueling 26 mile marathon, running events in the U.S. — and around the world — never seem to stop themselves. Did you know, for example, that in the U.S. alone has more than 2,000 half marathon events every year? On top of that, nearly half a million Americans every year participate in a marathon, and that number is only expected to increase. The popularity running enjoys, though, is nothing new. Running events have been recorded as far back as the second millennium B.C.E. (most famously in the Olympics). Starting in the 17th century, the English would play a cross-country like game known as “hares and hounds” or “the paper chase,” which was basically a long-distance version of “tag.” All in all, humans have been running with (or against) each other since — well, since humans learned how to use their legs!
In modern times, running has gained not only a following with people but also a following with gifts.
