As the holiday season is fast approaching, we wanted to provide you all with gift ideas for runners. We shared a list of some of our favorites!

Lauren

Tracksmith Twilight Long Sleeve

This long sleeve makes me feel speedy. The material is athletic and soft at the same time. I love wearing it for faster workouts in cooler temperatures because it’s light enough that I don’t get too hot, but it also keeps my arms and shoulders warm. The thumb holes are a great addition as well. You can wear this long sleeve in warm or cool weather and feel extremely comfortable!

Balega Blister Resistant Quarter Socks

Everybody knows runner’s feet are a problem. Mine certainly are, especially when I’m building up mileage in a training cycle. I struggled with blisters and bloody toenails more than I’d like to admit before I discovered these socks at Fleet Feet Raleigh. They’re cushioned and fit well into my trainers and workout flats. I love the quarter length, but I also have a few pairs of the Balega Blister Resistant No Show Socks that I use regularly as well! The socks are high quality and last me a long time without wearing down after frequent washes. Cannot recommend these highly enough for anyone struggling with blisters and toenail issues from running.

Rita

Big Spoon Roasters Pumpkin Spice Wag Butter

This is my favorite go-to gift for my fellow dog mom & dads for Christmas. You can't go wrong with a tasty treat for your fur babies!

Rise & Run cookbook by Shalane & Elyse

Most of the recipes are vegan-friendly or can be modified to be vegan friendly and gluten-free, not to mention they are easily digestible, healthy, and super yummy! Especially the superhero 2.0 muffins - they are my favorite!

Kimberly

Women's New England Overshirt

This wool and cotton button-up top is stylish and perfect for layering! As of late, I've been elliptigoing and walking a lot and this is my go-to piece of clothing for all outdoor activities. It does an incredible job of keeping you warm and blocking the wind, but the full button-down allows you to regulate your temperature if you get too warm. It's slightly oversized so they recommend women going a size down, but I didn't realize that and absolutely love the bigger fit - an even bigger plus is that I can still fit into it 8 months into pregnancy :-). It's so versatile that it's a perfect gift for any runner or non-runner, you can wear it anywhere!

Shae

Gnarly Collagen PRO

I love that the Gnarly Collagen is flavorless so that I can add it to any of my drink mixes. I usually mix it with Gnarly BCAAs before I run but also with the Gnarly Vegan Protein for after my runs. It’s a staple in my pantry.

Big Spoon Roasters Maple Cinnamon Nut Butter

This is my all-time, go-to, favorite nut butter ever. It is such a great gift for a stocking stuffer or pair with a jam for a really good gift. This flavor hits on the holiday spirit and goes well with just about anything.

Gabi

Tzumi ProFit handheld massage gun

This on-sale massage gun is the perfect recovery gift for the runner in your life who's always complaining about being sore or begging you for massages. I use it on my leggies, hips, and back in between trips to 919-spine to keep my muscles loose and ready to tackle the next day of training.

Gnarly vegan protein

This is my favorite gnarly product because of its versatility — I can use it in a post-run protein shake, bake it into protein pancakes, mix into my oatmeal, or make it into hot cocoa. Perfect for the lactose intolerant, vegan, (or truly any) runner on your list!

Big spoon winter variety pack

Runners require an inordinate amount of nut butter (at least I do) and with this variety pack from Big Spoon you don't have to choose just one of the most delicious, classic flavors from our favorite local roaster!

Emma

Tracksmith shoe bag

I warm up 3 miles from my house to the track a few times a week and this bag is the perfect way to carry my workout shoes with me without needing to bring an entire running backpack.

Earbuddyz ear hooks for headphones

EarBuddyz Ultra Ear Hooks and Covers Compatible with Apple AirPods 1 & AirPods 2 or EarPods Featuring Bass Enhancement Technology (Medium, Black) Headphones always fall out of my ears when I run. These little rubber covers keep them snug and comfortable while I listen to podcasts!

Amy

Gnarly Pre-workout

I used to always be an after-work runner, but the change in my work schedule brought on by Covid made me a morning runner! Finishing a run before work means an early alarm and since I don’t drink coffee, I’ve had to figure out a way to fully wake up. Gnarly’s Pre-workout is the answer since it is full of caffeine. I love both flavors (Strawberry Lemonade and Mango) and alternate between them both most days of the week.
