Se’if 1א׳

אֵין לָרוּץ בְּשַׁבָּת אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן הוּא לִדְבַר מִצְוָה כְּגוֹן לְבֵית הַכְּנֶסֶת אוֹ כַּיּוֹצֵא בּוֹ. הַגָּה: וְאָסוּר לִפְסֹעַ יוֹתֵר מֵאַמָּה בִּפְסִיעָה אַחַת, אִם אֶפְשָׁר לוֹ בְּפָחוֹת (אוֹר זָרוּעַ וְהג"א פֶּרֶק מִי שֶׁהוֹצִיאוּהוּ).

1. Articles Which One May Go Out [to the Public Domain] While Wearing and Those Which Are Forbidden [To Be Worn], 51 Seifim: One should not run on Shabbat unless it is to perform a mitzvah, such as running to the Shul, or something similar. Rema: And it is forbidden to walk more than an amah in one step if one can take a smaller step. [Or Zaruah; Hagahos Ashiri]

Se’if 2ב׳

בַּחוּרִים הַמִּתְעַנְּגִים בִּקְפִיצָתָם וּמְרוּצָתָם, מֻתָּר. וְכֵן לִרְאוֹת כָּל דָּבָר שֶׁמִּתְעַנְּגִים בּוֹ וְכֵן מֻתָּר לְטַיֵּל (בְּשַׁבָּת) (בֵּית יוֹסֵף).

Youths who enjoy jumping or running are permitted (to do so), and the same goes for other things they enjoy [and therefore it is permitted to hike/walk for pleasure on Shabbat][Beis Yosef].

Se’if 3ג׳

הָיָה הוֹלֵךְ וְהִגִּיעַ לְאַמַּת הַמַּיִם יָכוֹל לְדַלֵּג וְלִקְפֹּץ עָלֶיהָ אֲפִלּוּ אִם הִיא רְחָבָה שֶׁאֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְהַנִּיחַ רַגְלוֹ רִאשׁוֹנָה קֹדֶם שֶׁיַּעֲקֹר שְׁנִיָּה, וּמוּטָב שֶׁיְּדַלֵּג מִמַּה שֶּׁיַּקִּיפֶנָּה מִפְּנֵי שֶׁמַּרְבֶּה בְּהִלּוּךְ; וְאָסוּר לַעֲבֹר בָּהּ, שֶׁלֹּא יָבֹא לִידֵי סְחִיטָה.

If one is walking and he comes to the edge of water, one may jump across it even if it is an area where he is not able to place one foot down on the opposite side before uprooting the foot on the first side. And it is better that he jump across it instead of going around it so as not to increase his / her walking and it is forbidden to pass through [the water] out of a concern for coming to squeeze [the water out of his / her clothes].
