When the Finish Line Is Days Away
From 100 milers to five-day Backyard Ultras.
Meet the world’s toughest ultra-athletes who go longer, with Creepers.
Kilian Korth
King of the 200 Milers
Grand Junction, Colorado
Kilian is setting the standard for 200 milers.
In 2025 he dominated the Tahoe 200, Bigfoot 200 and the Moab240 to not only win the Triple Crown, but set a new record.
640 miles of racing - in one season - a calendar that only the toughest athletes in the world even attempt.
In 200 milers, gear can’t fail. Kilian runs in Creepers so that he can go longer.
"My first 100 mile race I lost 7/10 toenails and had at least 10 different blisters on each foot by the end of it.
This year I ran the Bigfoot 200 and ran in exclusively creepers socks and I had zero blisters and lost zero toenails."
Phil Gore
King of the Backyard Ultra
Perth, Australia
“They’ve become my go-to for every run, having proven their worth over the thousands of kilometers I’ve run over the past few months"
Phil Gore is the master of the Backyard Ultra. He reclaimed the World Record in mid 2025 with 119 loops (798 km / 497 miles) - nearly five days of continuous running, blister-free.
Then just four months later, Phil won the World Championships with another mammoth effort of 114 loops (475 Milers), to outlast the field.
He also holds the 24-Hour Oceania Record at 270.8 km - running the whole effort in the same pair of Creepers, and without a single blister or foot issue.
When records are on the line, and one blister could derail everything, Phil trusts Creepers to Go Longer.
Sam Harvey
The Most Versatile Ultra Runner
Christchurch, NZ
“I ran 610 km at Backyard Ultra World Champs and 228 km a couple of weeks later. Not a single blister... What is this sorcery?!!"
Sam Harvey has redefined what’s possible in ultras - twice breaking the Backyard Ultra world record with 677 km (2023) and 790 km (118 hours, 2025).
He’s also taken wins at two UTMB World Series events: the 2025 Tarawera 100 Miler and the 2024 Ultra-Trail Kosciuszko by UTMB.
This Kiwi ultra runner and coach ran blister-free in Creepers from 2022 all the way through to his 791 km Backyard Ultra, where it finally took 118 hours to raise a small blister on his little toe.
When even 100+ hours of running can’t break your gear, you know it’s built to Go Longer.
Alyssa McClellan
Grit Meets Endurance
Texas, USA
Alyssa McClellan is a Texas-based ultrarunner known for her toughness, resilience, and ability to go further when it matters most.
In 2025, she claimed the women’s win at the Habanero 100, battling through extreme Texas heat.
Earlier that year, she became the Last Woman Standing at the BPN Go One More Backyard Ultra, outlasting the field with discipline and determination.
Alyssa has completed eight 100-mile races to date, including the Arkansas Traveler 100, Outlaw 100, and multiple finishes at the Habanero Hundred.
“Discipline, not motivation, carried me through when things got tough.”
Kat Edwards
Unbreakable in the Big Miles
McGaheysville, Virginia
“Wore them all East Coast winter in the snow and rain and 3 days of rain/mud at Cocodona with no blister issues or cold feet 🙌🏻 so grateful"
Kat Edwards thrives in ultras that chew most runners up.
She’s taken 6th female at the Cocodona 250 (2025), 1st female (4th overall) at Sedona Canyons 125 (2024), and 3rd female at the Moab 240.
Multi-day ultras, mud, snow, and storms - Kat powers through.
For the races that destroy gear, Kat relies on Creepers to go longer.
Kendall Picado Fallas
Ultra Obsessed
Costa Rica
At just 21, Kendall Picado Fallas has already made history. In 2025 he became co-champion of the BPN Go One More Backyard Ultra, running 378 km over 56 hours.
Weeks earlier, he broke through 50 hours at Sydney’s Backyard Ultra - the youngest athlete in the world ever to do so.
For Kendall, there’s no finish line. Obsession, discipline, and going all in define his approach to both running and life.
He trains and races every day in Creepers Socks, trusting them through the miles no one sees and the battles that inspire thousands.
No finish line.
Julia Chamberlain
The Last Woman Standing
Wanaka, New Zealand
Julia Chamberlain is one of New Zealand’s most versatile ultra athletes, with results that span Backyard Ultras, mountain ultras, and multisport.
In 2024 she ran PB 51 loops (342 km) at the World Backyard Ultra Satellite Championships - a performance that made her the last woman standing for the NZ team and top 10 globally.
Beyond the backyards, Julia has proven her strength across multiple formats: 7th in the Coast to Coast Longest Day, top 10 at the Tarawera 100 km, and winner of the 2024 NZ Long Course 100km Trail Championship.
When races demand grit across days and disciplines, Julia trusts Creepers to keep her feet strong so she can Go Longer.

Meet our Founder
In 2021, I’d had enough of sweaty feet, blisters, cheap fabrics, and cramped toes.
So I built something better.
Not hype. Just bloody good socks. Designed for real miles, real trails, and real feet.
Born on the trails of the Southern Alps, and tested everywhere - in heat, cold, and long, brutal days out.
Go Longer. Feel Better. Every Day.
See you out there,
- Shaun
5 Reasons Ultra Athletes Trust Creepers Over Any Other Sock
Fewer Blisters. More Miles.
1
Toe separation, superfine merino, and our seamless, low-friction design make Creepers the best defense against blisters and hot spots. That’s why they’re the best socks for ultra running and the choice of athletes that choose to go longer.
Superfine Merino = Comfort + Performance
2
No cheap synthetics, no coarse wool. Every pair uses 18.5 micron superfine merino blended for durability and performance. Softer, smoother, and faster-drying — Creepers feel completely different from other wool socks.
Toe Separation for Natural Strength
3
Regular socks cram your toes, creating friction and weakness. Creepers give each toe its own space to splay, balance, and grip. More stability. More comfort. More miles.
Tested in the World’s Toughest Races
4
From Phil Gore’s 798 km Backyard Ultra World Record to Sam Harvey’s 118-hour epic and Kilian Korth’s 200-mile wins, Creepers are proven where other socks break down.
Built to Go Longer
5
Creepers are made to handle it all - deserts, mountains, mud, snow, and endless days on your feet. Tough enough for ultras, comfortable enough for every run in between.
