Imagined by the ultra traileur Fran\u00e7ois D'Haene, the Ultra Spirit breaks the codes by proposing a new format of race on nearly 100 km and 10 000 m of positive difference in altitude.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the second edition of the Ultra Spirit will take place on September 22nd. 40 teams of 3 people will be competing on a course traced in the heart of the Beaufortain. If the distance (100 km over three days) and the positive difference in altitude (10,000 meters) are data that remind us of what can be found on long distance trails, the concept imagined by Fran\u00e7ois D'Haene and his wife Carline goes beyond the simple time trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year: still no shower, no more telephone network, and the time will still not be the only master of the race. No compulsory equipment either: on the Ultra Spirit, we advise, we do not oblige in order to make the runners responsible. Every evening, the runners will have a bivouac at an altitude of 2000 m facing the Mont-Blanc and the Pierra Menta. To deal with the time, the organizers propose a classification by points that the runners glean as they go along the 12 surprise activities imposed at the check-points. This concept forces runners to change their relationship with time. Unlike traditional races, the meeting, the sharing and the values take precedence over the time trial, even if the meeting keeps the physical level of an ultra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
