Literature

Run A long run, a short run. We say of a drame, "It had a long run," meaning it attracted the people to the house, and was represented over and over again for many nights. The allusion is to a runner who continues his race for a long way. The drama ran on night after night without change.
In the long run. In the final result. This allusion is to race-running: one may get the start for a time, but in the long run, or entire race, the result may be different. The hare got the start, but in the long run the patient perseverance of the tortoise won the race.
To go with a run. A seaman's phrase. A rope goes with a run when it is let go entirely, instead of being slackened gradually. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.

Run (baseball statistics)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In baseball, the object of the game is for a team to score more runs than its opponent. Runs are scored when a player advances safely around all three bases and returns safely to home plate. A player who does so is credited with a run, or sometimes referred to as a "run scored."

Running

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Running is the fastest means of locomotion for animals with legs, including humans without a vehicle or other tool. Defined in sporting terms as a gait in which at some point all feet are off the ground at the same time.

Running is a form of aerobic exercise.

Jogging

Jogging is a type of slow running that became common in the 1970s in the West. Jogging fell from favor as it is a "high-impact" exercise that places strain on the body, notably the joints of the knee. This is one of the whole ideas of the exercise, as the impact drives growth processes in the body, but many had dropped jogging to take up "low-impact" exercises such as stair climbing.

Competitive running

Perhaps the most basic of athletic contests, running races are simply contests to determine which of the competitors is able to run a certain distance fastest. Today, competitive running events make up the core of the sport of athletics.

Running competitions have probably existed for most of humanity's history, and were a key part of the ancient Greek Olympics, as well as the modern Olympic games.

Running events are usually grouped into several classes, each requiring substantially different athletic strengths and involving different tactics, training methods, and types of competitors.

Types of running events:

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

TRIAL, n. A formal inquiry designed to prove and put upon record the blameless characters of judges, advocates and jurors. In order to effect this purpose it is necessary to supply a contrast in the person of one who is called the defendant, the prisoner, or the accused. If the contrast is made sufficiently clear this person is made to undergo such an affliction as will give the virtuous gentlemen a comfortable sense of their immunity, added to that of their worth. In our day the accused is usually a human being, or a socialist, but in mediaeval times, animals, fishes, reptiles and insects were brought to trial. A beast that had taken human life, or practiced sorcery, was duly arrested, tried and, if condemned, put to death by the public executioner. Insects ravaging grain fields, orchards or vineyards were cited to appeal by counsel before a civil tribunal, and after testimony, argument and condemnation, if they continued in contumaciam the matter was taken to a high ecclesiastical court, where they were solemnly excommunicated and anathematized. In a street of Toledo, some pigs that had wickedly run between the viceroy's legs, upsetting him, were arrested on a warrant, tried and punished. In Naples and ass was condemned to be burned at the stake, but the sentence appears not to have been executed. D'Addosio relates from the court records many trials of pigs, bulls, horses, cocks, dogs, goats, etc., greatly, it is believed, to the betterment of their conduct and morals. In 1451 a suit was brought against the leeches infesting some ponds about Berne, and the Bishop of Lausanne, instructed by the faculty of Heidelberg University, directed that some of "the aquatic worms" be brought before the local magistracy. This was done and the leeches, both present and absent, were ordered to leave the places that they had infested within three days on pain of incurring "the malediction of God." In the voluminous records of this cause celebre nothing is found to show whether the offenders braved the punishment, or departed forthwith out of that inhospitable jurisdiction.
