RUDY PROJECT × UTMB® Official Eyewear Partner of the UTMB® World Series

Three-Year Partnership Announced

We’re proud to share that Rudy Project is now the Official Eyewear Partner of the UTMB® World Series through 2027. This long-term collaboration unites two leaders committed to innovation, performance, and sustainability in the heart of trail running’s most iconic events.

Innovation. Sustainability. Passion.

Born in Italy. Tested on trails around the world. For over 40 years, Rudy Project has delivered high-performance sunglasses, helmets, and prescription solutions for athletes across all disciplines—from cycling and triathlon to trail running and skiing.

Our partnership with UTMB® is rooted in shared values: a commitment to cutting-edge design, environmental responsibility, and empowering people to chase their goals in the world’s most breathtaking natural settings.

Supporting the Trail Running Community

As part of this collaboration, Rudy Project will be present at selected UTMB® World Series events—starting with the La Sportiva Lavaredo Ultra Trail by UTMB—offering on-site product experiences, gear advice, and athlete support.

Trail runners will be able to test eyewear on the ground, receive expert fitting advice, and explore Rudy Project’s best-in-class optical technologies.

Rudy Project Collection

New Limited Edition Collection Launching August

Launching late August, the new UTMB® × Rudy Project Collection includes standout models such as the Astral Sphere, Astral X, Propulse, Spinair 57, and the Spinshield Pro.

These sunglasses are equipped with contrast-enhancing, photochromic lenses—ideal for changing mountain light, unpredictable weather, and technical terrain. Engineered to deliver clarity and protection when it matters most.

“UTMB perfectly balances sporting excellence with respect for the mountains. Together, we can drive real change—for athletes, and for the natural world they run through.”
