Gift ideas for runners
Whether it is the festive season, a birthday or you just want to gift something special for the runner in your life, one of the most important things to think about is what to get them (or even what to get yourself if you're a runner).
We know a thing or two about what runners like and what they're after, and can help you gift the right things. So, whether the runner in your life is just starting out as a beginner, or they're preparing for a marathon in the next year, you're in the right place.
We have a wide selection of gifts for runners, and our gift guide below will help you decide what to get your running loved ones.
What is a good gift for a runner?
Running accessories:
What do you get for a runner who has everything? Well, more running gear, obviously. Running hats and socks are great smaller gifts to give, whether as an addition to a larger gift (running socks with running shoes), or even if you wanted to create a combination of running accessories for the runner in your life.
Additionally, you could also give the gift of our Brooks Run Club. Set up a loved one on BRC and they will get rewards for their upcoming runs. Rewards such as early access to the Brooks sale, to discounts from key partners, such as Goodr Sunglasses and High5 nutrition.
One Small Step by Paul Sinton-Hewitt: The Incredible Story of parkrun
Inspiration is a big part of running and all runners get inspired by those around us. One of the most inspirational stories in the running world is the story of parkrun. parkrun founder, Paul Sinton-Hewitt has written a book all about the success of parkrun, One Small Step, and how it’s turned into such a global movement. This book is a great gift book to help inspire those runners around you.
Summer running gear
From tank tops to running shorts, summer running needs clothing to help runners focus on the run. Choose from our range of hot weather running clothes that make for great gifts for runners.
Winter running gear
The holiday time of year is synonymous with winter. We know it can be hard to keep up motivation running in the cold, so getting some winter running gear can be a useful and practical present. Pick from running vests, jackets and tops to help keep your sprinting loved ones motivated and prepared.
Strava membership
Strava is one of our favourite apps by far, and one that we recommend to all our friends. Gifting a one-year Strava membership so that your runners can make the most of their running is something they’ll be thanking you for all year.
From showing them global running routes to having fun with group challenges and getting competitive with leaderboards – particularly with local runners in your area – Strava is a must-have for all runners.
Race entry
Do you know a runner who wants to take it to the next level in the coming year? Look no further than entry to a marathon or other race. If they want to compete in their first ever run, there are many 5km’s and 10km’s in most cities across Europe, so you’ll be able to find the best run for them.
If you know a more advanced runner, you can help them start thinking about marathon season. Gifting an entry to a marathon or half marathon, particularly somewhere spectacular, will be something that they’ll get excited for. All across Europe, there are some incredible marathon routes, so there will be one that’s perfect.
Running shoes
The crème de la crème of all gifts: the best pair of running shoes. This is for that special person in your life and can be a gift that is cherished for a long time after. Whether your runner just loves running or is gearing up for a big race, we have a great selection of shoes at Brooks.
At Brooks, we have some great new shoes coming up, making them ideal gifts for runners who want the latest shoes and gear. The Glycerin Max 2 offers max cushioning and protection, while the latest in the Adrenaline Line, the Adrenaline GTS 25 is great for anyone needing additional support. Finally, our exciting new Ghost Trail is a great gift for those who love trail running, or for those runners thinking about adding a trail to their training.
Need a bit more inspiration? We have a wide range of gifts for women and men. This selection of thoughtful running gifts will put a smile on your friends’ faces, as well as keeping them motivated to run.
