ULTRA SPIRIT

Mission

To create a new ultra trail event that breaks the codes of the discipline. An innovative format inspired by the values and vision of international athlete François D’Haene and his wife Carline

Project

Salomon & François d’Haene asked us to design an ultra trail like no other. An ambitious challenge!
Six months of intensive work between office and field, in order to organize a new event format, worthy of the athlete and his partners.

A new brand is born with the aim of…
– VISION: To live authentic human adventures in the mountains
– PROMISE: To embody the spirit of François d’Haene
– MISSION: To share experiences in the Beaufortain region during ultra trail events
– VALUES: Authenticity, premium, responsibility
– IDENTITY : Clean, refined, natural

Operationally, we have surrounded ourselves with local actors and have built a team of 75 people, each one expert in their own field.

We have paid particular attention to measuring and limiting our carbon footprint. Accompanied by Air Coop, we are the first testers of a new tool to help us organize more environmentally friendly events. More information about our commitments on the ULTRA SPIRIT website.

The ULTRA SPIRIT adventure is just beginning…

Testimonials

“The 3 days went better and better! We had a great adventure with the teams and staff. The runners were able to spend themselves as they wanted, each at their own level, with great values and a beautiful mutual aid, especially with the staff.”

Participant

“You feel like you’ve been on a drip for three days, like you’re on an intense adventure, a whirlwind that never stops. It’s intimidating, confusing, but you let yourself be guided because you feel the organization team is so benevolent and competent. A beautiful machine already well oiled for a first edition, really playful, passionate, in love with its region, with the desire to have fun and have fun all together.”
