“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” ~ T.S. Eliot

Running is a journey that starts and ends with you. Wherever you are on your journey, we're with you on the trails, pounding tarmac, and chasing summits.

We've got BIG things on our horizon! Can you guess what's coming next month? Here are a few hints:

Contoured fit that moves with you 🏃
Upfront storage for easy access 📱
Standout design that will catch your eye 👀
It's the whole kit and caboodle 🧳

Breathing is necessary for all endurance activities, and that's why we're proud to support our athlete, Tara Warren, for the 5th year in a row as she leads Running Up For Air-Malans Peak as race director!

Taking place this weekend, participants will run up and down Malans Peak (~6 miles, 2300' gain) in Utah for 3, 6, 12, or 24 hours! Not only are they completing this intense endurance course, but they're also fundraising to fight for improved air quality and a less polluted world 🙌 They already have a record-breaking 135 sign-ups and have raised nearly $40,000 for this important cause! Want to join in on the fun? Sign up for the race or donate here: https://malans.upforairseries.org

Let's hear it for Justin Simoni, who will be tackling Old Man Winter Rally this Sunday 👏 We're rooting for you and all the runners and cyclists out this weekend!

What jacket is best for your winter adventure?

As you hit the trails in less-than-ideal conditions, you may opt for a top layer to keep you warm on your run. Depending on your climate and training regimen, you may need a lightweight wind shell or waterproof rain jacket. Check out our guide to see which top-performing running jacket is right for you.

"If I could only have one pair of winter gloves, these would be it." – Believe In The Run

Why do the editors at Believe in the Run love our Ultra Flip Glove? "The gloves are well-insulated and have the fingertips you can actually use with touchscreens. When I head out the door, I like to keep my hands as warm as I can. I'll start with the mitt out, and as my body heats up on the run, I'll tuck the mitts away. With other gloves, my hands would be cold until the blood started pumping."

Thanks for the awesome review, Thomas! Check out the full review and all his favorite gear here: https://bit.ly/3SvNmtW

“Everyone can be a runner, all ages, all levels, because a runner is not defined by how fast you are, but how much you love to do it." – Rob Steger

Reminder: you do not need to run fast, run hard, or run long to qualify as a runner. All you have to do is put one foot in front of the other 💪

Shout-out to our athlete, Ryan Montgomery, for being the 10th-ranked North American ultrarunner of the year in 2023 🎉

We're so proud of Ryan for always going the extra mile. Last year, they ran in four highly competitive races, placing well in each of them, including a major win at the Quad Rock 50-miler in Colorado. Thanks for letting us be a part of your journey, Ryan! We can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for you!
