Italian trail and mountain running champion Francesco Puppi has chosen SPORTLAB Milano as his partner for muscle preparation, physical recovery, and skin protection during training and competitions.
This collaboration makes SPORTLAB Milano the Official Sportcare & Sun Protection Partner of Francesco Puppi, supporting him in his daily routine of preparation, performance, and recovery.
An international trail running benchmark
Born in 1992 near Lake Como, Francesco Puppi has been one of the leading figures in international trail running and endurance racing for over ten years.
Throughout his career, he has achieved prestigious results in the most iconic competitions worldwide, including two victories at the UTMB World Series Finals (OCC 2023 and CCC 2025), as well as wins in legendary races such as Transgrancanaria Marathon, Lavaredo Ultra Trail, and Canyons Endurance Run.
His preparation is characterized by an extremely meticulous approach, where training, recovery, body care, and attention to detail are fundamental elements of performance.
A collaboration born in the field
The partnership between Francesco Puppi and SPORTLAB Milano was established after a period of field testing, during which the athlete was able to integrate SPORTLAB products into his daily training and recovery routine.
Session after session, often in extreme environmental conditions involving mountains, sun, cold, humidity, and long hours of effort, Francesco was able to directly evaluate the effectiveness, quality, and functionality of the formulations.
This process led to the creation of a structured collaboration, built on trust, technical exchange, and a common vision of performance.
Francesco Puppi's sportcare routine
As part of his daily preparation, Francesco Puppi will use various SPORTLAB Milano products dedicated to the athlete's complete care:
- preparatory creams and oils to promote muscle activation before training
- fatigue-relieving and regenerating emulsions for post-performance recovery
- soothing and skin-protective formulations for skin subjected to stress
- anti-chafing products for comfort during long distances
- high-performance sun protection, essential for outdoor sports and long exposures at altitude
A complete routine designed to accompany every phase of sports activity: before, during, and after exertion.
Contribution to new product development
The collaboration will not be limited to using existing products.
Thanks to his daily experience in high-level sport, Francesco Puppi will also actively contribute to the development and refinement of future SPORTLAB Milano products.
The constant dialogue between the athlete and the company is, in fact, one of the central elements of the project: to develop increasingly effective, high-performing solutions designed for the real needs of endurance and outdoor sports.
Francesco Puppi's words
"I had time to thoroughly test SPORTLAB products during training and recovery, and I immediately appreciated their quality and effectiveness. I am particularly careful about protecting my skin from sun exposure, but for those who practice endurance sports, caring for muscles, tendons, and skin in general is an integral part of performance. I am happy to start this collaboration and to be able to contribute to the development of new products thanks to my experience in the field."
SPORTLAB Milano alongside athletes
For SPORTLAB Milano, this partnership represents another step in strengthening its presence in the world of running, trail, and outdoor sports.
Supporting an athlete like Francesco Puppi means working daily in close contact with those who experience performance at the highest levels, with the aim of developing increasingly advanced products for muscle preparation, physical recovery, and skin protection.
After the recent entry of Yeman Crippa into the SPORTLAB Milano family, the arrival of Francesco Puppi further consolidates the brand's presence alongside some of the most authoritative interpreters of Italian endurance sports.
