The Pro Trail Runners Association

Francesco Puppi on Instagram:

…
It’s time for the elite athletes to unite and stand for the issues they deeply care about.
To have a voice at the same level as the different stakeholders involved in the sport, not as individuals but as a structured group, united in a non-profit association.
To preserve the values which make trail running so special and to work to ensure a better future to the next generations.

…

This effort can become an important and invaluable pillar of our sport. Athletes need representation and what better way to have a unified voice than an association that can speak on behalf of the individuals.

Their mission focuses on:

• Athletes Rights
• Antidoping
• Competitions
• Environment

Their first assembly was today with many of the big athletes of our sport present.
