Atalanta was not a goddess at all. She was a mortal. The goddess of hunting was Artemis. There is no god of running. However Hermes is often associated with speed.
Atalanta was a beautiful Greek princess, not a goddess, (although some believe that she was a member of Artemis's [or Roman Diana's] Hunt) so she went by Atalanta in both Roman and Greek culture.
Artemis and in Roman it is Diana. She is both the goddess of the hunt and the moon.
i am not sure that anyone knows but lions were supposedly created when the legend of atalanta and hippomonies ends. Athena the greek goddess turnes them both into lions for revenge when they do not prey to her.
Hippomenes tricked Atalanta during their race by using three golden apples, which he received from the goddess Aphrodite. As Atalanta ran ahead, he strategically dropped the apples one by one, causing her to pause and pick them up due to her desire for the beautiful fruit. This distraction allowed Hippomenes to overtake her and ultimately win the race. His clever use of the apples showcased both his cunning and the influence of divine intervention.
Running shoes are designed to help you when you are running over relatively uniform surfaces. It is unlikely that you will engage in sustained running while you are hunting. In addition, you may be going in rough country or wet country or both. Boots would be better for that kind of activity.
She was the goddess of the Hunt; as the goddess of the Wild she both protected and hunted within the wilderness; so too did she hunt wild animals and protect the young among them.
Artemis had duel aspects; hunting, yet a goddess of the wilderness. Protector of virgins (young girls), yet a goddess of childbirth. She could be both kind, and cruel, so she was neither good nor bad - she could be both.

Each of the gods and goddesses had their own area of responsibility. There is no WHY as to who does what.It could be that she was born to be a hunter. She was always was good at hunting even as a baby she could kill a wild boar.Addition:All the Greek gods had their responsibilities from the day they were born.
Atalanta is most like Artemis and Athena (for different reasons). Both goddesses were virginal, both had taken men's roles (Athena in war, Artemis as a hunter), and each had a general disdain for men on the whole.
