International Trail Running Association (ITRA) is the governing body for trail running. It was formed in 2013, emerging from the 1st International Trail Running Conference held in 2012.[1][2] Trail running was first recognised by the International Association of Athletics Federations (now World Athletics) in 2015 as a discipline of athletics.[3][4][5] ITRA has, among other things, developed a points system for ranking the difficulty of specific trail routes and tracking the performance of runners across races.[6]
ITRA is currently headed by Janet Ng, a co-founder of the Hong Kong Trail Running Association.[7]
IAAF Congress in Beijing voted to change Article 2 of the IAAF Constitution to include trail running officially as part of the definition of 'Athletics'
