Wearable Gifts Any Avid Runner Will Love

Help them pound the pavement with glee.

If there's an avid runner in your life, you just know they can be picky about their gear—a fact that makes them a tad tricky to shop for when the holidays arrive. The one thing you can count on, though, is that they’ll always love something that adds to their run, whether it be new shoes, cutting-edge tech, or a new tee. We’ve made figuring out what to get that special runner this year a whole lot easier, with this selection of great gifts for the fleet-footed folks in your life. Check them out below, and get ready for them to run into your arms.

Any runner would love to slip into a pair of Ultraboosts from adidas. They provide extra support with an upper that wraps your entire foot in an easy cushion, and a sole which offers extra "oomph." And, at the end of the day, they look cool as hell. You couldn't ask for more.

When it comes to choosing a running watch/fitness tracker, this one's an easy pick. It has everything they need to optimize their runs, from a built-in GPS that lets them see their pace to a heart rate tracker that helps them reach calorie-burning targets. Plus, it all comes in an ultra-slick package.

Help them look extra stylish on their jogs with this sleek, sweat-wicking long-sleeve in a classic, retro-inspired horizontal stripe pattern. It's made from the lightest fabric they’ll ever wear on a run.

This stocking stuffer is an obvious choice for someone who is always, um, running through socks. But just because they’re practical doesn't mean they can't be fun, too. These adidas crew-length socks come in flashy colors, a contrasting pattern, and ribbed cuffs for extra comfort.

It's getting chilly out—the perfect time to grab a new hat for your favorite road runner. This style honors the Boston marathon and is made from supersoft acrylic yarn. They’ll love the fun touches on the beanie, from the print to the pom-pom.

Runs can become a whole lot more intense—in the best way possible—when paired with the right buds. These will help them turn up the volume with wireless active noise canceling, no audio dropoffs, and a tailored fit that's compact, comfortable, and won't fall out. And with 24 hours of battery life, it can handle those two-a-days.

You don't need to break the bank to pick up a great pair of running shades for those lunchtime jogs. These have a timeless style and high-performance details including no-slip coating and a snug, face-fitting frame that make them perfect for everything from the toughest workouts to a trip to the beach. That's great for the recipient, and for you, the giver? Well, the price simply cannot be beat.

A great tech jacket can really run up a hefty tab. This one doesn't, but it still has all the specs: it's water-repellent, highly breathable, and has just the right amount of stretch for when they need a little flexibility. Plus, there are plenty of pockets to corral what they need when they’re on the go—which means it's also good to pull on for off-the-track errands.

It's finally happened—the perfect, comfortable, warm, and functional running pant is here! The X-City Flooce Running Pants move with your body and are even made in part with recycled materials, making them and easy choice for any runner.

Make their life a whole lot easier with an ultra-sleek running belt to carry their stuff. It's made from the lightest of light fabric. It even has little reflective details to keep them safe after dark on long winter's run.
