About This Quiz

Running is probably the oldest sport in history. It's one of the purest forms of competition you could possibly imagine. No frills, no gimmicks, just a person on two legs doing what they do. Running fast, running long, running from here to there. Jumping, hurdling, vaulting, all of that evolved as an extension of running to form the realm of what we know today as track and field. And at their core, they're all pure athleticism. You can learn a lot of different techniques in different sports from throwing a ball to catching one, driving a car or making a basket, but running is one of those things that truly evens the playing field and takes you back to basics. Do you have what it takes?
