The Elite Trail Team has announced a new partnership with Pelotan, the manufacturer of high-performance sun protection products designed specifically for athletes.
Pelotan offers long-lasting protection from harmful UV rays with up to eight hours of coverage from a single application. Its lightweight formula is resistant to sweat and water, making it well-suited to the changing weather conditions often faced by trail and mountain runners.
The Elite Trail Team includes 14 athletes from across Europe, several of whom have represented their countries at European and world levels. Many have podium finishes at marquee trail and ultra running events. The team’s support structure includes experts in nutrition, psychology, sleep, biomechanics and physiology.
“Pelotan is an ideal partner for our athletes,” said Doug Stewart, Founder and Performance Director of the Elite Trail Team.
“Their products offer broad spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays, which is essential for all runners’ skin health. But more than that, Pelotan helps enhance performance, by being quick and easy to apply, and reliable against sweat and rain.
“For a sport where the weather can change dramatically in one event, this can help athletes gain minutes on the trails – which can be a podium decider.”
Tom Austen, Founder of Pelotan, said “We’re very pleased to partner with the whole Elite Trail Team. As they gear up for their key summer races, our products will keep them protected and performing at their best in some of the most testing environments and gruelling events on the circuit.”
The Elite Trail Team works with a number of partners including TrainingPeaks, Train.Red and fuel provider Nduranz. The addition of Pelotan aligns with the team’s goal to enhance athlete wellbeing and share high-performance knowledge with the wider trail running community.
