Trail running is now an official sport of the international athletics after the IAAF Congress approved this recognition on August 19th. 174 members out of the 187 voters were 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 in 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".
