road running
Jogging on pavement
Road running is distance running on paved surfaces rather than trails, tracks, or cross-country terrain.
Most organized races—5Ks, 10Ks, marathons—are road races: She transitioned from track to road running after college.
The term distinguishes the discipline from trail running, which takes place on unpaved paths.
