Possible mistakes

To my knowledge first official (ultra) trail world championship was organized in 2016. by cooperation of newly founded ITRA (International Trail Running Association) and IAU. Prior to that unofficial world championships were organized as UTMB (Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc) (that is a common wording occurrence in reports and description of that race prior to 2016.) between 2003. (first edition of the race) and 2015. This article is my first word of official championships prior to 2016. so I suspect something is not right.

"The first Trail World Championships were held in Annecy, France, at the Maxi-Race on May 30, 2015." from https://trailrunner.com/trail-news/us-team-selection-criteria-for-2019-trail-world-championships/

ITRA has listed from 2016 edition onwards on its site.

"The IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations), having recognized in summer 2015 the Trail as a new discipline, will recognize as the only Trail World Championship the event of Trans Peneda-Gerês, Portugal (2016.)." from https://itra.run/page/345/2016_Trail_World_Championships.html

So if it wasn't even recognized as a discipline how could it be official championship?

Though we have here (https://www.aura.asn.au/trail-worlds/) the same information as it is in the article.

Clarification is needed (official years, unofficial years, IAAF recognized, what about UTMB). 213.149.51.254 (talk) 11:20, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
