About the Collaboration
Willpower Running & Spot the Dot team up to raise skin cancer awareness among runners worldwide. 10€ of every sold "The Night BelongsTo Runners" item will go to Spot the Dot to support their fight against skin cancer.
Why it Matters
Summer is here. And so is a highly increased risk of skin cancer. That's why we are launching another stage of our cooperation with the most dedicated Spot the Dot NGO to continuously raise skin cancer awareness.
Runners of the night
Running is our means to escape. Our active path to fulfillment and ease. We are finding peace in our struggle and growth in endless repetition. Running is not what we do. Running is who we are. We are proud lifers of this sport and in it for the long run. That’s why we take great care of our bodies and aim to stay healthy for a lifetime. This also includes skin cancer prevention such als self-checks, regular screenings, protective clothing and running when the sun is long gone. The night belongs to runners, the night belongs to us.

Did you know getting sunburn, just once every two years, can triple your risk of skin cancer? UV light is the most preventable risk factor for all skin cancers. We encourage everyone to protect their skin in a way that suits them best. For example by running at night.
Skin cancer is meanwhile in the top 3 of the most common cancer types amongst young adults. We teamed up with the NGO Spot the Dot to raise skin cancer awareness among runners worldwide. We hope our Night Runners shirts functions as a conversation starter to encourage fellow runners to protect their skin and to do self-exams for early detection of skin cancer.


According to a 2006 study by the Medical University of Graz, runners have an increased risk of developing skin cancer.
Dermatologists advise runners to cover up, apply sunscreen, and train when sunlight exposure is less intense.
UV light is the most preventable risk factor for all skin cancers. Make sure to:
Avoid sun during peak hours. Or even better run at night.
Use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher .
Wear protective clothing such as a hat.
