The Ethics of the Ultra-Trail^®   

The runners, volunteers, organisation and partners are united in the same adventure and share the share the same values:

EQUITY

The rules were conceived for everybody and therefore are applicable to everybody
No financial incentives, but the same prize for all runners who finish

RESPECT FOR OTHERS 

Respect for oneself and for others permits absolutely no cheating of any form
Respect for the volunteers who participate for the pleasure
Respect for the local population who accommodate the race
Respect for the organisation and its partners

RESPECT FOR NATURE 

Never drop litter
Respect for flora and fauna
Don’t cut the corners because this provokes erosional damage to the area
Take advantage, for oneself and one’s companions, of communal transport or car pool

IMPARTATION AND SOLIDARITY 

Prioritise assisting anybody in danger or difficulty
Support a charitable association: to put one’s own suffering in perspective & to be aware of one’s privileges

EXPLORE YOUR LIMITS 

Learn to know oneself and develop self-autonomy in order to maximize the commitment in respect of physical and mental integrity.
