X-BIONIC

Project 390 wasn’t just a crossing. It was a reckoning.
 
400 km. 25,000m of climbing. Almost non-stop along the Via Alpina.

Months of preparation meant nothing when tendinitis hit at 100km. When both feet swelled. When his left knee started failing. When the last 300km demanded a pain threshold he’d never known.
 
But Antonio Santos pushed through—because some dreams demand everything.
 
That’s where gear matters. It’s not about being comfortable. It’s about managing the toll your body takes so you can keep moving. About sweat management that works when things get real. About staying dry, supported, and focused when everything says stop.
 
From Bad Ragaz to Montreux, X-BIONIC® was with him. Not to make it easy. But to let him do the hard thing.
 
Congratulations, Antonio. You weren’t the same person who left Bad Ragaz—and you proved exactly why.

Breaking out of the lab and into the mountains. 🏔️
 
Trail Running Lab is a project using the latest sports tech - including X-Bionic shoes and gear – to help the next generation of athletes reach the summit of the sport.
 
On their mission to perform in the world’s leading races, they’ve been doing the hard miles at a training camp in the Alps and learning to love the process.

As TRL athlete .berruer put it:

“Going all the way and pushing beyond your limits, both physically and mentally, creates a powerful feeling. The difficult moments are part of the process, and they make the final outcome even more beautiful.”
 

is an X-BIONIC ambassador for a reason: he loves the wild adventures we live for, and he puts our gear through the ultimate tests.

Tests like the Everest Marathon — the highest marathon on Earth, starting at 5,356m. 🏔️

The night before: snow, then a hard freeze. The start line: ice and snow at 5,500m, after 12 days trekking through the Himalayas — 100km on foot, 10,000m of elevation gain.

Then the race itself: almost 3,000m of descent, 1,500m of climbing, and terrain that shifted from ice to mud to rock beneath his feet.

Thin air, but Gontran didn’t care. Our technical base layer held the line against the cold at 5,500m, arm sleeves and running shirt adapting as temperatures swung.

And on the technical descents, the TerraSkin X03 gave him the grip and stability to keep moving — efficiently, and with his legs protected — all the way to the line.

On top of the world in every sense.

Feel Supernatural personified.

In his words: “The journey, not the arrival, matters.”

Chapeau, Gontran.

Second place at the VDA 163K. 🥈
 
Théo Soriano closed out one of the toughest ultras in the Pyrenees with the kind of composure that only comes from staying present, mile after mile. 
 
“I held my line to the finish, and the night turned into pure flow,” he said of the long hours through the dark. Day two brought relentless heat and deep fatigue — he stayed locked in anyway. Second place, earned through focus. 
 
Congratulations, Théo. That’s what you call supernatural resilience.
