Goal of this Petition
To get the Welsh flag as an option to show on our UTMB runner profiles and on any signage that shows our nationality and country when racing a UTMB race, such as a bib number.

UTMB runner profiles let you select a nationality flag, but there's no option for Wales, only United Kingdom. Welsh runners are shown under the British flag, which doesn't represent Wales either, as there is no Draig Goch (Red Dragon).
Flags on a profile are how runners are seen and represented on one of the biggest stages in the sport and this isn't isolated to just Wales, Scotland and other nations cannot be chosen either.

The ask is simple: add Wales as flag options on UTMB runner profiles, the same way many other multi-nation states are already represented in international sport.

Sign this petition to tell UTMB it's time Welsh runners were represented properly.
