Being fearful or concern for one’s safety is not normally associated with running. (Crawford, Jacksonand Godbey 1991; Mannell and Kleiber 1997) have explored how fears and coping behavior affectleisure experience.

Despite thisresearch, no research has explored the relationship between women runners and fear, in the context ofleisure.
