All the cougar attacks here in modern times have been on joggers and mountain bikers, there haven't (AFAIK) been any on hikers.
It's simply that cats automatically chase anything that runs.
I don't know where your "here" is, but a quick search on "cougar attacks hiker" brought up examples.
Children seem to be preferred (probably due to size), followed by runners and cyclists, but hikers are by no means "disqualified".
Many of the victims never even had a chance to flee. They were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
