Introduction<\/b>
\nEquity, respect for other people and the environment, mutual aid and solidarity, are the fundamental principles directing the organisation and the running of Ushuaia by UTMB<\/span>\u00ae<\/b>.<\/span> These are inspired directly from the values put forward by the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>International Trail Running Association<\/span><\/a> (ITRA) amongst which we find authenticity, respect, humility and fair play.<\/span><\/p>\n

We wish to share these principles with everyone who participates in the event: runners, partners, volunteers, spectators and local inhabitants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because we are conscious that our events take place in a framework which is at the same time grandiose and fragile, the aim of this charter is to clearly formulate the benchmarks which will act as the guide line for our behaviour and actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our sport, trail running, is experiencing nowadays important changes, the most perceptible of which are: a rising number of participants coming from an increasing number of different countries, a large diversity of motivations and profiles,\u00a0more and more sensitive economic stakes and the not insignificant emergence of impact upon the environment. In this context of change, we consider that it is our responsibility to continue promoting the sport, associating it with values that go beyond the sporting aspect itself and that make trail running a real human adventure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Equity<\/b>
\nIt is the search for a fair balance, based on\u00a0impartiality, equality of chances for all runners and\u00a0the recognition of the rights and duties that each player has in the event (runners, volunteers, private and territorial\u00a0partners, the press and local population). Our races are organised in order to be of advantage to all, without anyone benefiting in a way that may put others at a disadvantage.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Our races are open to everybody. Our rules are made for everybody and are applied identically to everybody. All the athletes have the same conditions, and they have the same rights and duties.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is our responsibility to guarantee this principle of equity, to carry out for this matter the necessary controls and to offer the best possible race conditions to all participants. <\/span><\/p>\n

We limit the zones where assistance is authorised so as not to penalise those runners who cannot benefit from it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We ask race marshals to ensure that the rules are respected throughout the race.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reception of top-level runners is subject to pre-established rules that do not put in a disadvantage other runners. We make an effort to ensure that all players are recognized according to their respective contributions to the event and we ensure that all the finishers are rewarded.<\/span><\/p>\n

Respect for people<\/b>
\nA \u201cby UTMB<\/span>\u00ae<\/b>\u201d event gathers enthusiasts from a large diversity of cultures, personalities or motivations.<\/span><\/p>\n

To respect others is to understand and to accept that they will be different, and to adopt the “know how” so as not to bother them. It means, also, understanding that the mountain possesses its own culture and traditions. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We permanently work for a high-quality organisation, we stay tuned to all and we try hard to always find answers.<\/span><\/p>\n

We limit the numbers so as not to saturate the paths and also to avoid hold-ups along the route which could be harmful to the quality of the races.<\/span><\/p>\n

We scrupulously control that the conditions and rules of the race are respected, so that nobody can participate illegitimately to the detriment of another runner who respects the rules.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each player makes a commitment to show respect and conviviality, towards the local population and towards others occupying the mountains at the same time (other trail-runners, locals, mountain personnel, walkers\u2026).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Respect depends on sharing the regulations that every player (runner, volunteer, partner, journalist, accompanying person) commits to understand and to respect. We ask everyone not to cheat, under any circumstance, and to be an example of fair-play.<\/span><\/p>\n

Respect for oneself<\/b>
\nThe practice of long distance trail-running carries risks, and the search for performance and\/or pleasure on no account justifies the distortion of one\u2019s health in the more or less short term, or taking any risks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We will optimise the medical follow-up of the runners, in order to be able to implement actions of prevention and\/or information in the specific field of ultra-endurance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We ask each runner:<\/span><\/p>\n
