The ultra-trail is a long-distance race taking place in a natural environment. This event attracts an increasing number of participants. The runner alternates between walking and running to finish within the allotted time. It is a challenging test that takes a substantial period of time to prepare for. In a unique setting, the runners try to overcome a maximum degree of difficulty, to run as fast as they can, or to obtain the best ranking. Ultra-trail is an adventure within which each individual defines their own race. The participation in this kind of event is a challenge tailor-made for each of them. Competition provides modern sport with an unambiguous image of modernity. Focused on the challenge, ultra-trail represents an equivocal and nuanced reflection of the tensions and divergences of our societies
