What to get the runner, fitness-enthusiast, or trail nut who has everything? Here's a few items you can stock up for any need or explore for enhanced performance and everything in between!
$20 and Under
Teleties $7.99-$19.99
Tired of your hair ties stretching out or getting your hair caught in them? Say no more, Teleties to the rescue. These will not get tangled in your hair, and when they get stretched out you can put them in warm water and they will return to their original size. The flat clips (both oval and square) are super comfortable and allow you to lay your head back unlike other traditional clips.
Nathan Strobe $10
Perfect to clip on for those pre dawn and post dusk runs. Ensure everyone is able to see you while staying on a budget!
Junk HeadBands $17-$19
The only headband to stay on my very fine and thin hair. In a massive variety of designs, there is something for everyone!
Body Glide $8.99-$10.99
Always great to have handy as you never know when a hot spot or chafing issue may arise. I keep the big one in my house and the smaller one in my pack.
RaceDots $19.99
Ever buy a new shirt for a race, only to ruin it with holes from safety pins from your bib? RaceDots are ridiculously strong magnets that hold your bib on and don’t leave any marks. I’ve used mine through a hoodie and had no issues. Highly recommend!
For the Data Driven/Tech Junkie
Nix Biosensor $129.00
In layman’s terms, the nix biosensor is a small rechargeable pod that attaches to your bicep during activities longer than 45 minutes. The sensor collects your sweat during the activity and then analyzes sweat and electrolyte loss. Over time, it builds a profile that can give you a better idea of how to fuel during training. I drink a LOT of water and electrolytes, before, during, and after activities, but I found that I needed almost DOUBLE what I was taking in. Once I started to increase my fueling, I saw a significant improvement not just in my performance but in my recovery as well.
In addition to these items, we of course offer the brands and styles you love for everyday fitness to running performance which include Brooks, Hoka, On, Saucony, Topo, Asics, Mizuno, Altra, and recovery slides from Ooofos and Hoka. Existing customers have recorded sizes and style purchases so we can verify what your gift recipient will enjoy- or swap out later if needed. Not ready to make a brand/style commitment? GIFT CARDS are one size fits all and never expire!
