A Study on the Development Direction of the Jeju Trail Running Competition through the World Trail Running Competition

Abstract

In this study, we will discuss an introduction to Trail Running, a new outdoor sport that has been booming around the world recently, the status of trail running around the world, and the direction of development of trail running with Jeju. I think it’s time for Jeju to have new sports products in line with the changing world trend. The Jeju provincial government also needs to make efforts to develop the world’s most prestigious trail running competition, such as France and Ultra-Trail Montblanc, into a trail running competition that can represent Asia, taking advantage of the beauty and regional characteristics that only Jeju has, such as the Boston, New York Marathon, Berlin and London Marathon. Also, I believe that increasing the level of interest in trail running through various discussions and academic interests can serve as an opportunity to develop trail running in Korea.
