[OSM-talk] Tagging of jogging tracks

How should I tag a track in the woods that are designated for exercise like 
walking or jogging?  I tried to read the page Map_Features in the wiki, but 
didn't really get much help.

All the values for the 'sport' key are just applied to nodes and areas, not 
ways. The same goes for the 'leisure' tag. 

A combination that I can imagine is:
  highway=footway
  leisure=jogging
but how would that be rendered?  Another option is highway=track.

The area in question is 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=58.5098&lon=15.5168&zoom=14&layers=B0FT , 
i.e. the exercise area northeast of Ljungsbro in Sweden.  These things are 
quite common here in Sweden, so I imagine that I won't be alone in my 
question about how to tag this.
