If you injure yourself while jogging on someone's property, is the property owner liable for negligence?

In this installment, CaseyGerry attorney Eric Ganci explores this question referencing a recent judgement in Rucker v. WINCAL, LLC (2022) 74 Cal.App.5th 883.

According to the California civil code 846 (A) - "An owner owes no duty of care to keep the premises safe for entry others for entry or use for any recreational purpose, or to give warning of hazardous conditions to persons entering for recreational purposes. However, exceptions apply."

The question remains - How is recreational purposes defined in this context?
