description As any activity in the context of the pandemic, running in Argentina experienced strong impacts that are not only reduced to the abrupt interruption of the activity and its main interaction rituals, which are the races. In addition, runners were social actors of notorious presence in public agenda, especially in the first months of the pandemic and the Social, Preventive and Compulsory Isolation (ASPO). Their public demands “to go running” stimulated the circulation of discourses that reinstated a common negative stereotype of the Argentine middle class, with the addition that runners came to be defined as one of the main hazards to collective health. In this context, prejudices, impostures and stereotypes were expressed that were firmly embedded in common sense but also in academic discourse. This article therefore critically exposes those analytical and interpretative frameworks that lead to approaches that simplify and even moralize collective behavior, in this case that of the “middle class.”

Además, los corredores fueron actores de notoria presencia en la agenda pública, sobre todo en los primeros meses de pandemia y el Aislamiento Social Preventivo y Obligatorio (ASPO). Ante la imposibilidad de practicar el running y algunas demandas de aperturas para “salir a correr” que tomaron estado público, circularon discursos que, además de reponer un habitual estereotipo negativo de la clase media, se fortalecieron con el agregado de que los corredores pasaron a ser definidos como una de las principales amenazas para la salud colectiva. En ese contexto se expresaron prejuicios, imposturas y estereotipaciones arraigadas con firmeza en el sentido común pero también en el discurso académico. Por ello es que en este artículo se exponen críticamente esos marcos analíticos y de interpretación que conducen a enfoques que simplifican y hasta moralizan los comportamientos colectivos, en este caso de la “clase media”. Como qualquer atividade no contexto da pandemia, a corrida na Argentina sofreu fortes impactos que não se reduzem apenas à interrupção abrupta da atividade e de seus principais rituais de interação, que são as corridas. Além disso, os corredores foram atores notórios na agenda pública, especialmente durante os primeiros meses da pandemia e do Isolamento Social Preventivo e Obrigatório (ASPO). Diante da impossibilidade de praticar corrida e de algumas demandas por vagas para “sair correndo” que assumiram status público, circularam discursos que, além de reposicionar um habitual estereótipo negativo da classe média, foram reforçados com o acréscimo de que os corredores passaram a ser definidos como uma das principais ameaças à saúde coletiva. Nesse contexto, foram expressos preconceitos, imposturas e estereótipos firmemente enraizados no senso comum, mas também no discurso acadêmico. É por essa razão que este artigo expõe criticamente essas estruturas analíticas e interpretativas que levam a abordagens que simplificam e até moralizam comportamentos coletivos, nesse caso da “classe média”.
