This paper focuses on the issues of competition performance in sports tourism on walking tracks in the natural environment. The paper contains the analysis of competitive performance at the «Races of Four» from 2015 to 2019. The authors define major trends in modifying Grade 2 and Grade 3 walking tracks and present the dynamics of performance results on the Grade 2 and Grade 3 walking tracks over a 5-year period with the identification of the main reasons for its changes.

Research methods and organization. The authors used the following methods: analysis of competition conditions, document analysis, mathematical processing of performance data from protocols.

Research results and discussion. The authors studied changes in the nature of competitive performance on the Grade 2 and Grade 3 walking tracks. The study focused on the following parameters: number of technical stages, percentage of updating technical part of the track, coefficient of technical difficulty of the track, weather conditions on the competition day. The authors assessed the time dynamics of performance results for girls and boys aged 14-15 years on the Grade 2 and Grade 3 walking tracks.

Conclusion. The study revealed that the nature of competitive performance in sports tourism is getting complicated annually. Unfriendly weather conditions are one of the main factors in reducing performance results. Current improvement of performance results is associated with increased level of sports preparedness of competitors.
