Lurbel x Merrell Skyrunner World Series
From Ontinyent to the world’s highest peaks
ㅤㅤ
In 2026, we join the Merrell Skyrunner® World Series as an Official Partner and the Official Technical Sock of the circuit. A partnership born from a shared vision: real performance, innovation and respect for the mountains. This is exactly what we’ve been developing for decades in every garment we create.
The MSWS brings together some of the most technical and demanding skyraces on the planet — the stage where technology is proven, not promised.
When the mountain pushes back, comfort is not optional. Moisture, friction, impact and thermal changes can turn any small detail into a real limitation. At Lurbel, we’ve spent more than 30 years developing proprietary technologies and technical structures to ensure that limit is never your skin.
In 1999, we were pioneers with Aitana, one of the first socks specifically designed for trail running. Since then, we’ve never stopped innovating — supporting runners through technical terrain and sustained effort.

Becoming the Official Technical Sock of the circuit is recognition of a way of doing things: technology that protects the skin, designed for long efforts and constantly changing conditions. This collaboration is built to support runners where it matters most — in direct contact with the skin, during real effort.
A sock developed for skyrunning: precision, breathability and sustained comfort in high mountain environments.
These are the Lurbel athletes who will give it their all on the international skyrunning circuit. Follow them and experience the season from the inside.
