RESPECT FOR NATURE: Respect for nature, animals, other people and ourselves....Mutual aid and solidarity, every act made with love beautifies all the moments and organizations we live. It is our greatest desire to share all the beauties to be experienced with runners, volunteers, spectators, local people and all other living things. From this point of view, we must take care of our strong as well as sensitive and fragile nature together while competing or working. Organizing and competing while protecting nature should come before all emotions and behaviors. While the number of activities held in nature is increasing day by day, the number of athletes participating in such organizations is increasing at the same rate. Thanks to the organizations held in our country, many foreign athletes from different countries witness the natural beauties of Turkey and continue to come to our country again and again. For this reason, it is our duty to protect nature, no matter which country or region the races are in.

RESPECT FOR PEOPLE: Races bring together people from various cultures, personalities and different motivations. It is very important to respect others, to understand and accept that each person may be different, not to hinder them, not to disturb them and to be able to empathize. At the same time, it should not be forgotten that the region where the race is held has its own culture and traditions, and it should be respected. In fact, by registering, every runner makes a commitment to respect the local population and every person in the area.

SELF-RESPECT: Ultra marathons involve some risks as they involve long-term physical and mental struggle. For this reason, every athlete should only take small risks (if necessary) or know exactly when to stop in order to protect their own health. Ultra distances are distances that require detailed preparation and that strong bodies that have experienced this preparation can do, or rather, are suitable to do. For this reason, we recommend athletes to train correctly, rest and eat well, choose races suitable for their experience, and not use any foreign substances. When the right conditions that you have created for yourself and the right conditions that we have created for you are combined, we can achieve success in every race together with health.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND EQUALITY: Our races are open to everyone. Our rules apply to everyone and apply to everyone in the same way. All athletes have the same conditions, responsibilities and rights. It is our responsibility to guarantee the principle of equality, to carry out the necessary checks and to offer all participants the best possible race conditions.
