Abstract
Background. Mountain running is a discipline that has developed dynamically and therefore requires more research by scientists and practitioners. In this context, the aim of the authors of the study was to define the social and demographic characteristics of a mountain runner, as well as to determine their sports and tourist behaviour. Material and methods. The research was performed in 2014 and 2015 among 156 participants of mountain running events. The data were collected with a survey questionnaire developed by the authors of the research. Results and conclusions. The results showed that the dominant group of mountain runners were men of the age of 31–40 years with running experience gathered during flat terrain runs. Most often the responders participated in big running events that usually lasted 2–3 days during weekends. The season of the year when the running events are organised is of no importance to the participants. The most vital element that makes people enter this discipline is bound with the natural beauty of the mountain environment. According to the survey participants, the factors that cause less frequent practise of mountain running include lack of free time and a too big distance from the place of living to the running events.
