Eyes on the Games: SunGod Partners with Commonwealth Champion Eilish McColgan

The partnership marks a significant addition to SunGod’s growing roster of elite female athletes reflecting the brands ongoing commitment to supporting women in sport.
From championship podiums to road records, McColgan has built a career defined by professionalism, grit and determination at the highest level. She claimed Commonwealth Games gold in the 10,000m in 2022, is a four-time European Championship medalist and continues to be a part of the elite field of female athletes pushing the boundaries of what is possible over the 10km distance and beyond - making her one of the most formidable long distance runners in global athletics.
Now, as she builds towards this month’s London Marathon and the Commonwealth Games 2026, McColgan will race, train and compete in SunGod performance eyewear, becoming one of the first athletes to front the brand’s new Ultras Air model.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Eilish to the SunGod athlete team,” says Zoe Watkiss, co-founder of SunGod. “She perfectly embodies the SunGod ethos - resilience, ambition, and a drive to push boundaries. Partnering with world-class athletes like Eilish allows us to showcase our commitment to performance, innovation, and a team that’s shaping the future of sport and adventure.”
McColgan joins an enviable roster of inspirational female runners, across road and trail, including American ultramarathon runner Courtney Dauwalter, 2025 UTMB winner Ruth Croft, and fellow ultramarathon runner and human rights lawyer Stephanie Case.
“I’m incredibly excited to be partnering with SunGod. Not only do their products support me in performing and racing at my best, but I’m proud to be part of a brand that supports some of the world's best female endurance athletes” commented SunGod Athlete Eilish McColgan.
