* In ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'', Subaru's Device allows her to {{rollerblade|Good}} on walls by activating the Absorb Grip spell.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': Ranma can run up vertical things like powerline poles or horizontally on walls.
* In ''Anime/{{K}}: Missing Kings'', Kuroh and Yukari ''have a sword fight'' on the outside of a skyscraper like this. Kuroh appears to fall at first, but Yukari just uses his powers to stand on the side of the building, and Kuroh does the same after a moment.
* In ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'', Sasha runs down Wall Rose and saves Samuel from falling to his death.
* In the anime adaptation of ''LightNovel/ChivalryOfAFailedKnight'', the protagonist, Ikki, briefly runs along a wall/glass panels while being shot at.

* In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', Quicksilver runs along the wall of the White House's kitchen at one point during the "rescue" of Magneto.

** The third movie, ''Film/TheMatrixRevolutions'', tops this with the Club Hel fight scene, with {{Mook}}s doing CombatParkour ''on the ceiling, upside down'' (justified as them being A.I. programs living in the Matrix, so TheComputerIsACheatingBastard is in effect here). And it is [[MomentOfAwesome utterly fucking awesome]]. Said scene also has Trinity repeating her aforementioned maneuver to get the drop on her target.

* ComicBook/TheFlash can run fast enough to run up vertical surfaces.

** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'' Sora can finally run freely across certain walls during gameplay, indicated by a glowing effect

* In ''VideoGame/Sundered'', Eshe can run up sheer walls after obtaining the Gravitational Boots. She needs to start at the base of the wall, and she’ll fall off if she stops moving partway. Corrupting the Gravitational Boots into Atlach-Nacha’s Grip replaces this ability with a WallCrawl.

** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'' Sora can finally run freely across certain walls during gameplay, indicated by a faint glow.

* Near the end of ''RE: Anime/CuteyHoney'', Honey displays this ability by running down a vertical wall with Natsuko in her arms after the latter [[IntimateHealing resuscitates her]]. "These boots can run anywhere!"
