Tre Campanili Half Marathon: a record number of registrants, over 850 runners at the starting line, and registration is still open. Still on the fence? The race packet includes lots of goodies, including the new Oxyburn RUN EvoSmart HD socks. Have you ever tried them? Are you ready…to fly?

Said Boudalia, who is once again competing in Vestone at the Tre Campanili race—and ranks among the best Italian and world-class marathon runners in his SM45 category—has also been using Oxyburn socks for some time: “The long compression socks really work well in the mountains; I’ll be wearing them too, along with the Level 3 compression socks I always use, especially during the toughest, most intense workouts or interval training sessions. But they’re essential both uphill and downhill—they protect the muscles and make you feel less fatigued. I’ll be wearing them on Sunday because the material is top-quality, made in Italy, and you can tell—I’ve never had any blisters since I started using them.”

But what are the Oxyburn socks in the race pack like? With the RUN EvoSmart HD—a long version that covers the entire calf—your feet stay dry and cool in any conditions thanks to maximum temperature regulation and breathability.

RUN EvoSmart HD, a lightweight, all-season sock featuring Compression Energizer technology with medium compression, making it ideal for training and recovery.

The five main characteristics:

• Extra-lightweight, suitable for running on even terrain
• Dual-elastomer technology that provides both horizontal (width) and vertical (length) elasticity, improving the fit, adherence to the leg and foot, and stability of the garment’s position during use
• Insoles with “Traspirya” technology (wicks away sweat more quickly)
• Elastic Ankle Support Band (StaByLow)
• Second-generation compression technology
