I've hiked thousands of miles in all sorts of terrain.
From the deserts of southern California, to the pine forests of ⚾️ Colorado, I've hiked in just about every clime and place! Part of what I enjoy about hiking is the competitive ⚾️ feeling I get from it.
From time to time, I like to race my hiking partners (or myself) to see how ⚾️ much faster I am at getting to a given objective.
This element kind of makes it seem like hiking is a ⚾️ sport.
But is hiking a sport? Despite the competitive nature that you may have with yourself or your hiking buddies, hiking ⚾️ is not truly a sport.
