Some would say well overdue!

The International Trail Running Association (ITRA), is committed to champion trail running as an integral part of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Our vision extends beyond medals and records; it encompasses the very essence of our sport—the rugged and beautiful natural landscapes, the camaraderie, and the indomitable spirit of athletes.

ITRA believes that the growing popularity, unique challenges, and natural beauty of trail running deserve global recognition. We invite runners, athletes, race organizers, sporting officials, federations, and governments to join us in shaping a trail running format that honours our roots.

Together we can ensure that trail running in the Olympics and Paralympics exemplifies not only the spirit of competition and athleticism, but also respect for nature, for others and for oneself that are so central to our sports legacy.
