Semi-Autonomy: assistance on Basecamp.
Semi-autonomy means striking the right balance between adventure and total freedom on the road, with each cyclist managing his or her own effort and needs, and the kind assistance of basecamps offering rest, security and support as you set off on the next stage of the challenge.

![Group of people sitting outdoors, with smiley faces, looking forward, one of them smiling, a woman behind drinking from a pink bottle.]()
More than a community, a family.
Beyond the individual challenge, ultra racing brings together a unique community: people who are passionate about adventure and surpassing themselves, united by mutual support, respect and a passion for cycling. Whether on the road or in the base camps, everyone shares more than just a race: it's a human experience where solidarity and collective spirit count as much as performance.
