T’is the season to get those runners on your list (or you) something special. For a sport that claims to need minimal gear (just grab some shoes and go….yeah riiight) there sure are lots of gift options. Let’s check out some of my faves, shall we? This post contains affiliate links.
Functional Fashion
Sunglasses. Runners wear them year round to protect their eyes from sun glare, wind, cold, bugs, you name it. This pair from Sunglass Warehouse is polarized and stylish but with a price of just $15.95, won’t break the bank either.
Spandits Tights. Whether you choose thermals, boardies, a skirt, hat or something else, runners love the fun colors and patterns. Right now, just in time for winter, the super-spectacular Icelandic Tights are on sale! SPANDITSLOVE saves you 10% off your first order. Tell them I sent you.
Adidas Everything. When I was in Berlin running the marathon and frequenting the Adidas store on the daily, I kind of fell in love with the entire collection. They have some of the coolest stuff for athleisure. That’s code for times you’re not actually running (what??), although I love Adidas for running as well. Thursday and Friday, 11/16-17 ONLY, Chase this link and save 30% off the ENTIRE ADIDAS COLLECTION with code AFF30.
Running Warehouse. This online source has pretty much everything runners want and love. Not sure what to choose? Snag a gift card. Free 2-day shipping is tough to beat. Remember RUNBLOG10 saves you 10%.
Adventure
Rock n Roll Race Series Tour Pass. The 2018 passes are the key to races of your choice, anywhere in the freaking world! Choose from the 3-pack or go big with the 10-pack. Remember RNB15 saves you $15 off individual RocknRoll races.
Utah Valley Marathon/Half Marathon/10k. This was one of my favorite race weekends of 2017. Gather up your friends because Black Friday thru Cyber Monday you’ll get a free race entry when you buy 3. Use BLACK15 to save 15% off a single entry. Save 25% off race merchandise online with STORE25.
Safety
Veriglow Rechargeable Headlamp. Some days I just can’t avoid the darkness and a headlamp is just what I need to get my early runs done. I love the Veriglow because it casts a wide beam so I can see where the heck I’m going. It also has a red “taillight” included that I can clip to my waist. Perfect for running, biking, dog walks, camping, all of it. USB cord is included.
Run Lites. Baby it’s dark out there, this time of year especially. I love these for running in the wee hours or even walking the dogs at night. The rechargeable LED lights are awesome. Check out the whole assortment of half-finger, full-finger styles, sling and mittens here.
Motivation
Momentum Jewelry. Choose from tons of motivating mantras or make up your own. The Motivate Wraps are my favorite but the necklaces, rings and footnotes are also great options. There’s truly something for everyone.
Comfort
Salonpas Pain Relief Products. Ever since straining my lower back, I experience pain when I run on consecutive days, as I did during the RnR Las Vegas Remix. That’s where Salonpas comes in. Salonpas Lidocaine pain-relieving liquid, cream and gel-patches soothe and desensitize aggravated nerves for up to 8 ours. Use it on overworked IT bands, ornery hamstrings, achy joints and more. A great stocking stuffer!
Legend Compression. My “runner’s calves” love that these fit “right not tight”. I swear by Legend socks and sleeves for post run/race recovery as well as for wearing when I fly to help prevent blood clots. Click here to save $15 on your order.
Magnesium Flakes from NOW Foods. When my long runs get really long, my body gets pretty cranky if I don’t treat it right. My favorite thing to do is to flop down in a therapeutic tub filled with magnesium-infused water. Magnesium is known to relieve muscle aches and spasms, calm nerves and anxiety, enhance heart health and so much more. Best of all a post-run soak feels amazing.
Health
Health Warrior Bars. Hands down, these are my faves. Choose from Chia, Protein and Pumpkin Seed. There’s a flavor perfect for everyone on your list. Use RunDefinitely30 to save 30% at the Health Warrior Website.
Amazing Grass Superfood. Be extra festive and choose one of the holiday flavors. These are SO good on their own or added to smoothies.
Jaybird RUN Wireless Headphones. This is the first set of headphones I’ve tried that are TRULY wireless. There’s not even anything running behind your head. It’s a very freeing feeling! They’re sweat-proof, water-resistant, and you can customize the sound to your individual taste. Probably best of all? 12 hours of battery life! Bam! If you haven’t yet gone wireless, here’s your chance.
WIN IT!
One lucky reader will win a pair of Jaybird RUN Wireless Headphones.
Join me next Friday for a special Black Friday Edition of the Runfession Friday Linkup!
I’m linking up with Meranda, Lacey and Rachel for the Friday Five.
Great list! I was researching wireless headphones last weekend as I was working on a gift guide post, and I really want to invest in some good ones! These look awesome, and I actually didnt realize they made ones that are truly wireless. I just hope they would actually stay in my ears, which always makes me nervous!
I like that headlamp. I have two but don’t really lit up and sometimes can’t see where I am going. Will definitely order it. But what I like even more are the headphones. I’ve never seen those! Crossing my fingers I win.
What a great list! So many awesome things for runners!!
Good question! I’d like to do more traveling next year. Running included!
Great list! I am loving those Adidas! I haven’t really starting thinking about Christmas yet- WhAT? I better get busy!
Running is definitely not minimal! Love those pink and grey shoes for the gym.
You just reminded me that I wanted to get my husband some runlites! I left him use mine the other day and he was in Aww that there was a flashlight on the gloves! ..lol
This is a no-fail list. I like the price point variety – something for every budget!
Wireless headphones are actually on my list!
I need to find a subtle way (but not TOO subtle) to sneak this link to the hubby 😉 I think I am the last gal who has yet to indulge in Spandits…I gotta get on that wagon. I’m all about fun patterns!
I love my Jaybirds! I could definitely use a new pair of sunglasses though 🙂
I haven’t decided on gifts yet…I probably should! Same with what I hope to receive.
I am trying to find a way to give a gift card for a race. But I want the person to be able to choose the race, not just pick a race for them. I wonder if there is a way to do that?
I totally need a race registration or 5 for next year 🙂
I have Utah on my wish list 🙂
Spandits have some really great prints!
I am hoping to get new wireless bluetooth speakers.
Those run lites look really cool! I bought my husband this amazing running headlamp for father’s day but I’m the one that uses it the most! haha!
Great list! Those gloves with lights are pretty cool. 🙂
I was just looking into those jaybird wireless headphones last night. I would love to win those. If not I will definitely be putting them on my Christmas list.
Gift cards to my favorite places. While I may not know right now of something I want, I always will want something later on.
I was reading as my hubs was searching for running lights 😉
What a great list! I think I’ll just print the whole thing and drop it on my kitchen table for my family to see!
All great gift ideas! I wear sunglasses year-round, too. I really can’t have enough pairs!!
Nice! Now I know what to get my running friends 🙂
This Christmas, I’m hoping for a race pass to some local races. Wireless headphones sound like a great idea, too!
I’m hoping to get a Kindle Paperwhite.
This is such a well-rounded and thoughtful gift list!
I love the Run Lites gloves in the winter. Lots of other great stuff on the list too!
You have some wonderful gift ideas here! I’ve recently fallen in love with Health Warrior bars – now I have a hookup!
I think that you’ve covered all of the bases with your list here. Race registrations are always a great gift option for runners. There’s no such thing as having too many of them. 😉
I really hope I get a new winter running jacket. It gets SO cold here in Oregon sometimes.
I would love either a maid service or some great coffee for Christmas.
I am hoping to get some new running gear for the holidays!
I am hoping to get a new laptop since mine it on it’s last legs.
Great list… I need a good headlight!

I am not really not sure yet! I need to sit down and make a list of everyone I’m gifting and figure out what to get them.
I’m hoping to win some wireless headphones for my sister!
I’m giving each family a huge picnic tote, waterproof blanket, and yard games, plus a gc to Barnes and Noble. Invitation to relax outside! 😀
