Although I do a majority of my running alone, I never feel lonely. I've really enjoyed getting to know more of the trail running community and strengthening the bond with old friends while out on the trail this year. The loneliness of the long distance runner is an outside perception that does not reflect my experiences in the sport. When I do get together with other runners for the odd group run or at a race, there is an incredible camaraderie that comes from shared experience and a similar life view, even when the gathering is competitive. We actually have a very strong and tightly knit community of runners. This Salomon Running video filmed and edited by the African Attachment captures the team/family/friendship aspect of running beautifully:
