Jovase Trail Running is a trail running group that has achieved significant sporting success over the last ten years. Despite this successful journey, the organization maintains the decision not to become a federated club. This choice represents a deliberate position that distinguishes it from many other sporting entities in the same sector.
According to Fábio Ferreira, representative of the group, the main reason for this option is linked to the desire to preserve the spirit of friendship that characterizes Jovase. Maintaining this environment of fellowship and mutual support is considered more important than the benefits that federation could bring.
Beyond the spirit of friendship, the group deeply values its completely independent status. This autonomy allows making decisions without external pressures, maintaining the freedom of organization and functioning that characterizes the entity since its founding.
The position of Jovase Trail Running demonstrates that it is possible to achieve relevant sporting results without the need to integrate into traditional federative structures. The group proves that there are alternative paths to success in sport, where community and independence can coexist with competitiveness.
