The National Representatives' role

The National Representatives have a key role: as true spokespersons for the trail running actors within their national community, they commit themselves to invest and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the trail running in their respective countries while respecting the values of the trail running defended by the ITRA.

In each country, ITRA organizers and running members elect their Organizing Members' Representatives and their Running Members' Representatives for 4 years. These Members' Representatives per country represent all the sports members or organizers of their country at the ITRA General Assembly.
