Ultramarin du Morbihan: Set off with confidence with Bodycross, trail & running specialist
The Ultramarin du Morbihan welcomes thousands of participants every year. This
race, held on the French coast, offers athletes the opportunity to discover one of the most beautiful gulfs in the world. However, as this event takes place by the ocean, you need to anticipate specific weather conditions before race day. Bodycross, a major event partner, will help you choose your equipment.
Firstly, the race takes place in June. As a result, the weather alternates several times a day between bright sunshine and overcast skies. Not to mention bad weather, which can make the race more difficult and considerably lower the ambient temperature. This is why we recommend running in lightweight, waterproof clothing. This way, you can continue your race without having to deal with the unpredictable weather conditions brought on by the sea breeze.
Next, we invite you to monitor your body temperature during the Ultramarin. Not only to avoid overexertion, but also because running in the summer sun can be dangerous to your health.
Finally, in most races, participants cover several dozen kilometres on foot. Choose clothing with fabrics that won't irritate your skin.
Indeed, the friction caused by your body's movements during the race can be extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, choose lightweight, soft-touch garments with flat seams for the Ultramarin du Morbihan.

Protect yourself from the wind during the Ultramarin du Morbihan
The proximity of the race to the Atlantic Ocean makes athletes susceptible to westerly winds. In addition to slowing you down, these gusts can chill you if the ambient temperature is already low. When your body gets cold, your muscles work to warm it up. This natural process requires your body to exert extra effort. You can therefore tire more quickly when running in the cold.
Prepare for potential rain
The Bodycross ORLANDO windbreaker is fully water-repellent and makes water run along its fabric. This material provides complete upper-body waterproofing. Easy to put on and take off, our windbreakers can be folded and stored in a few seconds in their zipped back pocket. The compressibility of this product allows you to take it out in case of bad weather. But also to store it away if the sun comes out during the race.
Choose technical fabrics for your Ultramarin du Morbihan
To avoid any risk of irritation or discomfort during your race, we
recommend wearing technical and smart fabrics. As a specialist and
major partner of the Ultramarin, Bodycross offers the best solutions on the market.
