Merino Wool Socks for AZT Vail Scramble Runners

We are excited to announce a new sock design for 2026! Thanks to our friends at Big Skylines, we have developed a mid-length Merino wool sock that is ideal for running in the desert. We love wool socks for their moisture wicking properties, ability to keep your feet cool in summer and warm in winter, and they don’t stink as bad as cotton or synthetic. Plus, less synthetic material is better for the planet and our drinking water. We think you’ll love the neutral desert colors! Socks are given to every runner who registers for the marathon, half-marathon or 10K. Available in S/M and L/XL.
