Julien Yamba

Ultra Trail Runner | Quebec, Canada

"I’ve been using XACT products for several years, both in training and competition. I appreciate their simplicity, effectiveness, and practical, real-world approach—nothing unnecessary, just what the body needs when the effort goes long. XACT supports me through the key moments: when fatigue sets in, when staying focused matters most, and when it’s all about moving forward, one step at a time. Much like me: committed, consistent, and always in motion."

Meet Julien

An endurance athlete specializing in trail running, ultra-trail racing, and mountain sports, I thrive in demanding environments where managing effort, energy, and recovery is essential. Whether running, ski touring, or mountaineering, I strive to balance performance, enjoyment, and long-term sustainability. I’m drawn to ambitious projects, long challenges, and adventures where the human experience matters just as much as the finish time.
