The aim of this study was to investigate the motivations for beginner runners to take part in Parkrun Poznań and City Trail Poznań, Poland, taking into account their socio-demographical variables. A total of 165 (age: 36.33 ± 10.38) inexperienced runners participated in the diagnostic survey and completed the MOMS (Motivations of Marathoner Scale) questionnaire. The sample consisted of 82 men (49.7%) and 83 women (50.3%). The results showed that men were more likely to start running due to competition-related motivations, while the motivations of women were more often related to affiliation, psychological coping, life meaning, and self-esteem. As age increased, the level of motivation due to personal goal achievement, competition, and recognition scales decreased. The Affiliation Scale was especially important for singles who started running, in comparison with runners who were married or in a relationship. These factors should be taken into consideration by event managers and public health specialists. Promoting safe running among people who have no experience with this sport is as important as encouraging them to run. All runners stated that they would like to run a marathon in the future. Moreover, thanks to initiatives such as City Trail and Parkrun, Polish respondents feel motivated to lead an active lifestyle, with an average score of 4.98 on a 7-point Likert scale.
本研究旨在调查初跑者参加波兰波兹南公园跑和波兹南城市步道跑的动机，并考虑他们的社会人口统计学变量。共有165名（年龄：36.33±10.38）缺乏经验的跑步者参与了诊断调查，并完成了马拉松运动员动机量表（MOMS）问卷。样本包括82名男性（49.7%）和83名女性（50.3%）。结果表明，男性因与竞争相关的动机而更有可能开始跑步，而女性的动机更多地与归属感、心理应对、生活意义和自尊有关。随着年龄的增长，因个人目标实现、竞争和认可量表而产生的动机水平下降。与已婚或有伴侣的跑步者相比，归属感量表对开始跑步的单身人士尤为重要。赛事管理者和公共卫生专家应考虑这些因素。在没有这项运动经验的人群中推广安全跑步与鼓励他们跑步同样重要。所有跑步者都表示他们将来想跑马拉松比赛。此外，由于城市步道跑和公园跑等活动，波兰受访者有动力过上积极的生活方式，在7分量表上的平均得分为4.98。
