Yeah this.

The perceived *'I am going to be RACING an ULTRA' *punches chest** bragging rights vs 'I'll be trundling 1500km around the Highlands in a non-competitive way, on the Tartan, Tatties and Tablet perm'

You also get lots of people who enter ultras but don't really race - just look to get round for the party, or whatever. And you get people who organise events, call them races and don't enforce their own rules!

Yeah I feel like I'm in this camp. I'm on the start line for a 'race' but continually think
'why do I care that there are other riders, given you're not supposed to interact with them in any meaningful way until you're having a beer at the end'
