A man who ran across no man's land during World War I was often referred to as a "runner" or "infantryman." These soldiers would undertake the perilous task of crossing the dangerous space between opposing trenches to deliver messages, reinforce positions, or engage the enemy. This act was incredibly risky due to the presence of barbed wire, artillery fire, and machine-gun nests. The term "going over the top" also describes the action of soldiers leaving their trench to advance into no man's land.

Why was the area between enemy trenches called no man's land?

The area between trenches was called 'No-mans land'. This is because whenever a man was sent into no mans land it was basically a suicide mission because as soon as he stepped out of his trench he would be shot by the enemy. Because of everyone being shot as soon as they came out of their trench, no men were in that area and so it was called no mans land.
