Advice, guides and training plans

This year, during the UTMB® week in Chamonix, a major scientific study was dedicated to photoprotection in trail running. Conducted by an international team of French and American researchers from the University of Michigan and French dermatologists, this project directly questions our habits when facing UV exposure. The team went further than simple data collection by launching SunBeast, an educational program for athletes. The goal: to spread science-based practical advice and provide concrete tools to strengthen sun protection without compromising performance. Supported by Raidlight, it puts the health of trail runners at the heart of the practice.
