Who was the person who created running?

Running as a form of physical activity has been practiced by humans for thousands of years and cannot be attributed to a single creator. Its origins trace back to ancient cultures where it was used for hunting, communication, and competition. The modern sport of running, particularly in organized events, began to take shape in the 19th century with the establishment of Track and Field competitions. Notably, the revival of the Olympic Games in 1896 included running events, further popularizing the sport worldwide.
