L’ultracycling rientra nella categoria degli sport estremi. Tutto ciò che supera i normali standard del ciclismo “tradizionale” è definibile ultracycling. Rientrano in questa categoria le prove massacranti a partire dai 300 km in su, quelle di durata (12-24-48h), fino alle corse che si sviluppano su tracciati di 1000 e più km. Il concetto di ultracycling supera quello di sport nel senso stretto del termine: l’ultracycling è qualcosa che va oltre la sfida con il proprio avversario. E’, prima di tutto, una sfida contro se stessi, la ricerca e il superamento dei propri limiti fisici e mentali. L’aspetto agonistico non è meno importante: la top ten in una gara di ultracycling è sempre un risultato che da il giusto valore alla propria prestazione. Le prove più importanti si disputano su distanze dai 500 km in su. In Europa le più prestigiose sono la Race Across the Alps (533 km, 13 mila m. di dislivello, la prova di ultracycling da scalatori per eccellenza), la Race Around Slovenia, la Race Around Austria e il TorTour de Suisse (entrata a far parte di diritto, tra le prove più importanti e prestigiose a livello mondiale). La “regina” dell’ultracycling rimane la RAAM (Race Across America).Una prova massacrante di quasi 5000 km che si snoda lungo il percorso del “coast to coast”.
