| description | Event tourism represents one of the rapidly expanding segments within the realm of sports tourism globally. This
research aims to investigate the emerging patterns in sports event participation and sports tourism among endurance athletes,
with a specific emphasis on gender distinctions. Using a survey methodology, a dataset comprising 609 endurance athletes
was analyzed to examine their sporting habits, behaviors, motivations, and attitudes. Special attention was given to
preferences for sports events and tourism-related aspects. The findings indicate that female athletes tend to prioritise external
motivational factors more than their male counterparts. In terms of sports event preferences, female respondents attributed
significantly higher importance to factors such as race accessibility, affordability, and program offerings. Regarding travel
behavior, female athletes exhibited greater inclinations towards traveling with family and supporters, as well as planning
supplementary tourism activities around their race engagements. The study underscores the importance of recognizing
gender-specific preferences and motivations in sports event participation and sports tourism among endurance athletes,
highlighting the need for tailored strategies to enhance engagement and satisfaction among both male and female participants.
