I think either is OK.

Perhaps the second sounds a bit smoother as it omits a non-essential word.

But I guess if you were wanting to emphasise the fact that it was a pursuit you might include "the". I think it might depend on where you wanted to place the emphasis and that would depend on the context.

I think that your OP sounds better.
