National Representatives
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.
Their missions
Each National Representative commits to:
- listen to the runners and organizers of their country, share their discussions with ITRA and be a source of proposals
- inform the runners and organizers in their country of the actions and services offered by ITRA
- represent ITRA at sporting events or sports gatherings in their country.
For more details, consult the ITRA statutes.
