Overview: The purpose of this study was to quantify injuries related to trail running, as well as the type of footwear used during trail running. A survey was distributed to 1000+ runners with questions regading injuries sustained during trail running, types of trails used during running, types of terrains of said trails, and footwear preference during running. Chi-square tests were used to determine differences in injury frequency, as well as footwear preference. Multiple marginal indepedence tests describe any associations between injuries and trail/terrain type. All statistical analyses were run in R.
