sprinting
Racing at full speed
Sprinting is running at top speed over a short distance.
The term applies to both competitive track events—the 100-meter dash, 200-meter—and any burst of all-out running: She sprinted to catch the bus.
Sprinting emphasizes maximum effort that can't be sustained for long, distinguishing it from jogging or distance running.
