Löpgrenar är ett begrepp inom friidrotten.

Till en början delar man upp loppen i två kategorier. Lopp som sker på rundbanan på en friidrottsarena och lopp som sker utanför en arena, till exempel marathonlopp.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Simple as that! (no technical, official sounding, term needed).

Asker: Apparently there are at least 6 different types of running events: Sprints, Middle distance, Long distance, Steeplechase, Hurdles, and Relays -- and eight basic types of runs: i.a. Recovery Run, Base Run, Long Run, Tempo Run, Hill Repeats, and Intervals
