After a 2016 filled with successes and achievements, the Brescia-based company is introducing the 2017 ambassadors for its Running Team: among them are marathon runners, cross-country runners, trail runners, triathletes, and endurance race athletes.

Ten athletes—three women and seven men—a small, determined group of athletes ready to take on the trails and roads of the world with a single goal… to win! Among them are Italian champions, marathon runners, trail runners, cross-country runners, and ultramarathoners of the caliber of Ivana Iozzia, Said Boudalia, Carmine Buccilli, Marta Poretti, Marco Salami, Marco Ferrari, Marco Saia, Orazio Bottura, Ilaria Fossati, and Emanuele Manzi……they are the ones who , in 2017, will wear the colors of the Oxyburn Testimonial Team, the team created by the Brescia-based company that is a leader in the production of technical graduated compression apparel.

Thanks to many years of experience in the world of running and outdoor sports, Oxyburn has designed and tested a whole range of unique technical garments capable of enhancing athletes’ competitive performance, while also contributing to comfort during exercise and post-workout recovery. For this reason, all of Oxyburn’s 2017 brand ambassadors—selected from among the top athletes in every running discipline— will receive a complete set of technical gear consisting of long and short socks, base layers, pants, leg compressors, quad compressors, calf compressors, and various accessories such as hats, headbands, wristbands, and buffs. We’ll see them competing—perhaps wearing the 1620 Run Evo Bright or the 5110 Lance T-shirt.

“I’ve been using Oxyburn’s technical underwear and graduated compression socks for many years now,” explainedultratrail runner Marta Poretti, “especially during long races, it’s essential that my clothing doesn’t stay damp and doesn’t cause discomfort: thanks to Oxyburn’s technology, sweat evaporates, keeping the body dry at all times and thus providing excellent thermoregulation—which is essential for me, since I run in the mountains and in the snow…”

“Ever since I discovered Oxyburn’s graduated compression socks, I haven’t taken them off,” explained Said Boudalia. “I wear them before races to relax my muscles, during races to improve my performance, and after races to help eliminate lactic acid!”

“I’ve been using the Oxyburn-branded shirts, Oxyburn-branded shorts and socks,” confirms Carmine Buccilli, “which are excellent both after a workout—to reduce the risk of injury and speed up the elimination of lactic acid—and before, to ‘prepare’ the muscles for exertion. With Oxyburn, I’ve won numerous races and delivered some truly outstanding performances…”
