The World Mountain Running Association (WMRA), in collaboration with the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), is proud to announce the launch of the first-ever anti-doping education initiative specifically designed for mountain running athletes.

This milestone initiative marks a significant step forward in strengthening integrity within the sport, aligning mountain running with the highest international standards set by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

The initial online session, in April, will be followed by the distribution of E-Info materials on anti-doping to all runners. This will be complemented by an in-person session during the weekend of Sierre-Zinal, where athletes will have the opportunity to meet AIU representatives face-to-face. An extended session will also be organised for coaches and managers over the same weekend.
