Trail running is an official sport of international athletics after an IAAF Congress approved its recognition on August 19, 2015
174 members out of 187 voted for this recognition. The recognition of trail running as part of the IAAF disciplines leads to a modification of the Article 2 of the statutes.
The process of integration of trail running into the international athletics world will continue in November with the validation by the IAAF Council of a new article 252, which will define trail running and will be added to the " IAAF Competitions rules".
Along the election of the new president of the IAAF, Sebastian Coe, trail running is at a defining moment of its evolution.
