Selection Races for 2023 World Mountain and Trail Running Championships Announced

The Japan Trail Running Association has announced a circuit of eight domestic races that will be used to select the national teams in four categories for the 2023 World Mountain and Trail Running Championships. The schedule of qualifying races runs from May through December this year, with details on the selection process due to be announced by the JAAF.

In broad strokes, the selection committee will choose from among the top-performing athletes in the designated races, judging their performances according to set criteria. In order to be considered, athletes must be registered members of the JTRA for the 2022 year at the time of their race.

A total of seven men and three women are scheduled to represent Japan at the 2022 World Mountain and Trail Running Championships in Chiangmai, Thailand this November. Hopes are high that they and the 2023 national team will play an active role in their races. The exact date and location of the 2023 World Championships have yet to be announced, but they are expected to take place either before June 15 or after Sept. 15 next year.
