Bodycross – a French technical clothing brand specialized in running and trail – has become a partner of the Ultra Marin event. Taking place from June 30 to July 3, the Ultra Marin is a popular trail running event in France held in the Golf of Morbihan.
8,500 participants are expected to take part in the ‘adventure across seven races’, and they will now be accompanied by Bodycross which will provide apparel for both runners and the event’s organizers.
Established in 2014, Bodycross equips athletes with technical clothing. According to the company, in addition to putting the comfort of athletes at its heart, Bodycross also adopts an environmentally friendly approach through the use of eco-recycled materials.
For Bodycross, the partnership with Ultra Marin will further enhance its presence in the trail running space as part of its strategy to partner with the biggest French and international races, which already includes well known events such as Le Marathon des Sables, Le Grand Raid des Pyrénées and l’Ecotrail de Genève.
Jean-Pierre Giorgi, Communication Manager at Bodycross, said “Bodycross is very pleased with this partnership with the Ultra Marin, with whom we share many values such as surpassing oneself.
“Our brand is a partner of prestigious world-class events such as the Marathon des Sables, and accompanying the organizers and competitors of the Ultra Marin was an obvious step in our development.”
As a partner of Ultra Marin, Bodycross will provide official clothing to the event organization team and offer a finisher t-shirt to the participants. In order to highlight the new collaboration, a unique ‘Breton boutique’ will be displayed in the event village presenting apparel with a marine-inspired style; white and blue stripes.
“We are very pleased with this new collaboration which marks a turning point in the organization of the Ultra Marin,” said Pierrick Moreau, President of Ultra Marin.
“By working with Bodycross, the event changes dimension and asserts its new visual identity. The runners will be able to wear unique finisher apparel, and our volunteers will be dressed in the event’s colours. Beyond the technical aspect, L’Ultra Marin is delighted to partner with a brand that shares the same values.”
