I have been encountering this word kakemawaru 駆け回る a few times. It means
running around, If I understand well. Does it mean only physically running
around? For example: kids are running around in the park. Kodomotachi wa kouen
de kakemawatteimasu.

Or can one also use it to express 'having a lot to do, I have been running
around the city to do errands.' so that we are busy and we "run here and
there" the whole day.

Thank you for your help in advance^^

The meaning of kakemawaru 駆け回る
As 'nkjt' supported me with a very good link, I wish to share its content that
clears the issue I had with the word kakemawaru which is the following:

かけまわる 【駆け回る】

［１］【走り回る】run around [back and forth, to and
fro].（※runの代わりにrushを用いる方が迅速な動きを表わす）

```

        子供たちは庭を駆け回って（遊んで）いる
    
```

The children are running around [主に英 about] in the garden.

［２］【奔走する】（忙しい）be busy doing; with;（忙しく動き回っている）話 be on the run.

```

        彼は資金集めに駆け回っている

He is running around [主に英 about] raising funds./He is busy raising funds.

```

My father's always on the run.
