Running Fields

The Running Fields was a network of paths cut through the tall grass of the White Shore Plains beside the training halls of the Far Runner Dojo to allow the students to run wind sprints and work on their foot speed. The ability to run fast was not only helpful to the Hiruma Scouts, it was essential to the so-called Falcon's Wings runners. The paths were deliberately cut in an intricate and potentially confusing pattern, and used for orienteering training. The dojo used the Running Fields for night training exercises, which generally involved stalking and tracking in limited visibility.
