50 m Running Target or 50 m Running Boar is an ISSF shooting event, shot with a .22-calibre rifle at a target depicting a boar moving sideways across a 10 metre wide opening. It was devised as a replacement for 100 m Running Deer in the 1960s and made its way into the Olympic programme in 1972. Although replaced there by the airgun version, 10 m Running Target, in 1992, it still is part of the ISSF World Shooting Championships and continental championships.
Just like in 10 m Running Target, there is a regular version and a mixed version. In both versions, half of the runs are slow (target visible for 5 seconds), and half are fast (target visible for 2.5 seconds); the difference is that in the mixed competition, the runs are randomized so the shooter does not know in advance what speed to expect.
