Introduction
Identification of the development of local athletes in participating marathon championships is very important to ensure athletes can reach their full potential and have an impact on other competitions. The are implications for coaches and sport psychologists who may appraise their professional responsibilities parallel to the case provided [1]. The perception of coaches and athletes is very important to evaluate the performance of athletes during competition. Perceptions of participants associated with the coaches' role and actual involvement in team hazing experiences, including taking a proactive stance against hazing and accepting hazing [2]. Coaches' perceptions of long-term potential can be biased by maturational variation in adolescent athletes in talented but late maturing athletes missing selection into development pathways [3].
Running is a popular sports discipline which can be performed over many distances. The schedule for the marathon championship is routine every year. The participation of local participants came from outside the province. Local and non-local participants evaluate their event experiences differently and provide practical implications for event organizers [4]. Organizing sports events in general has a contribution to the level of regional income and the surrounding population. The results show that this contribution is higher in those economies accounts for a higher share of gross domestic product (GDP) [5]. In addition, athlete achievement or top performance can only be known when an athlete participates in a championship because they can evaluate a long-term training program to participate in the next event. That demography plays an important role in the improvement of top performances [6]. That both training and anthropometry were independently associated with race performance [7]. the type and frequency of training, and the number of years running were the best predictors of running performance and success in the 10-km distance [8].
Health problems with decreasing physical activity become a sedentary lifestyle for some people, which is followed by the results of previous research. The global health-related problems of decreasing physical activity, increasing sedentary lifestyles [9]. As long as the volume of physical activity is high, health-related fitness will be high as well, independent of the physical activity pattern or variability in intensities throughout the day [10]. Sport is one way to improve a person's quality of life. Numerous benefits of regular physical activity are considered, which helps maintain and improve the quality of life [11]. People will be more excited when doing sports with friends, trainers or family supported by a comfortable atmosphere so that exercise performance will increase. A Physical activity and counseling intervention delivered either in a group or individual format could reduce stress and burnout, and improve HRQoL of working [12]. It is related to the low hardy personality group, which means that they have less adaptation to the demands of the sports environment [13]. Adults described the importance of trust and the development of deep friendships through the activity more often [14].
There also remains much potential for sports administrators to harness the interests of non-local residents as consumers of sport. Sports may, for example, moderate the spatial travel patterns of international tourists who may be attracted to the entertainment and cultural values of live sport, much to the benefit of host cities. Investigation is warranted if athletes' perceptions of the talent development environment that they are involved in are related to their perceived level of achievement. The result from such a design could potentially generate knowledge about important factors in the talent development environment related to athletes' achievement and psychological functioning. The environment was positively associated with motivational outcomes [15]. Players perceiving their talent development environment as supporting and focusing on long-term development seem to be less stressed and experience higher well-being than other players [16].
Athletes' perceptions of the events held will also affect their satisfaction with the atmosphere, support from the audience and teammates, emotional and the achievements achieved during the event. Support for the expected effects of pre-competition anxiety, self-confidence, and idiosyncratic emotions on performance [17]. Those athletes who are well-peer mentored by a teammate perceive higher satisfaction levels with various aspects of their athletic experience and teammate support in enhancing the student-athletes subjective well-being [18] [19]. Athletes' perception of social support provided by coaches was positively correlated with their optimistic tendency and psychological well-being [20]. A moderate relationship was found between leadership and cohesion, and a close relationship was found between leadership and satisfaction [21]. Researchers argue that support from coaches or teammates has a positive influence on athletes and increases motivation and satisfaction when competing.

So that the results of this study will be more objective and the data obtained are theoretically valid. Triangulation of data analysis techniques and argue that such triangulation increases the reliability of the results [26]. The results obtained through a particular data analysis technique, for example, thematic analysis, are congruent with the results obtained by analyzing the same transcripts using a different technique, for example, correspondence analysis, it is reasonable to argue that the analysis and interpretation of the data are valid.

Discussion
The Samosir Ultra Marathon Championship which is held in the Horas Samosir Fiesta program is an annual agenda. Many athletes took part in this event, based on the data obtained there were 1125 athletes (496 participants for 5 kilometers, 378 participants for 10 kilometers, 153 participants for 25 kilometers and 98 participants for 50 kilometers. This year's event is considered different from the last year due to an increase in The number of participants which means that the satisfaction and behavioral intention felt by athletes and coaches is very good while participating in this event. Satisfaction had an extensively positive effect on behavioral intention [4]. Perceived coach-created task climate was positively related to perceived cohesion and players' satisfaction with their participation within their team [27]. Participants have the capability of differentiating between event and destination satisfaction when evaluating their future intentions [28]. Athletes' satisfaction can also be seen when they upload pictures or videos on social media while participating in this event.
The support is given by the spectators and teammates during the match also affects the athlete's achievement.
Teammate support had a positive influence on subjective well-being through positive emotion [19]. It was proven that during the race, the voices of the spectators were very busy supporting and watching the athletes competing so that the participants thought that their spirit and motivation would also increase. That motivation directly affects satisfaction and indirectly affects loyalty, whereas satisfaction directly affects attendee loyalty at aboriginal festivals [29]. Positive correlations were observed among social support provided by coaches, optimism, and psychological well-being [20]. Teachers have a good perception, which is indicated by a dominant good result, according to them, by making Lake Sipin area, will make students motivated to become rowing athletes [30]. Support for an active sport tourism taxonomy and framework based on the mode of experience and achievement orientation [31].
An important question is related to the athlete's perception and actions regarding his decision to enter the race and whether the decision is temporary or in the next few days. During the race, it can be said that athletes can change their daily activities temporarily and forgotten for a while to achieve their goals. The results show perception of Success Questionnaire to be a reliable and valid instrument to measure achievement goal orientations in sport [32]. Athletes can also evaluate themselves from the results obtained during this competition. Achievement goals and sport motivation with the high mental toughness group favoring both mastery-and performance-approach goals and self-determined as well as extrinsic motivational [33].

The training process that becomes a routine during the training program becomes a guide for the success of athletes. Skill performance obtained is also a factor in the success of athletes to achieve goals in this competition. The relationships between the covert and overt behaviors are related to skilled motor performance [35].
The athlete's decision to take part in this competition is the right decision because this is an annual competition agenda on Lake Toba. There are many marathon competitions held by the government but do not display a natural atmosphere that is still natural. Athletes feel a different atmosphere and environment during the race. Ambience in the athlete's opinion contributes to the achievement of the goal of participating in this event. Ambience also affects escape. In the opinion of athletes they can forget daily activities and eliminate worries while participating in the championship do not have fun. These three factors affect the satisfaction of athletes and help athletes make the right choice while participating in this event. Surf camp experiences connected to surf lessons, natural resources of surf spots, human resources in surf camps and recommendations after experiences [36]. The activities performed by the tourists have an impact on their perceived winter sports experience [37]. The athlete's experience during participation also makes the recommendation for ambience at Lake Toba. The quality of the event experience can be a focus for event managers aiming to achieve social marketing goals related to positive psychology from the event participation [38], and the interaction effect between Coach training and the coaching experience. Implications are given for coach education programs are training coaches to explicitly teach life skills through sport [39].

Conclusion
Event organizers must improve the athlete's experience of the atmosphere, achievement, and escape from the event as these aspects can contribute to participant satisfaction. Special attention must be paid to the athletes in the junior category who enter the 5 kilometers category in order to be experienced. In this case, ambience, achievement, and escape must satisfy runners so that they can change the behavior of participants in a better direction. Based on research data can be concluded that ambience, achievement and escape have a positive effect on satisfaction athletes based on their experience in participating in this event, so they want to participate in the event the following year because they feel it can have a good influence on the desire to exercise. Ambience-related items are used to evaluate the physical environment quality, and a positive relationship between the physical environment quality and satisfaction has not been identified properly. Therefore, it is hoped that there will be further research that discusses whether environment quality is related to athlete satisfaction and achievement.
