It’s the time of year for gift guides galore. I’m throwing my hat into the ring by offering my suggestions for gifts for runners. Best of all, these gifts can be purchased online to avoid the Black Friday mess. Here’s what I think would make thoughtful presents for your fitness-loving friends and family:
- Medal Holder Rack. I found thousands of options on Etsy and many of them can be customized. Similar options abound when you search. I find it helpful to read some reviews from the vendor before selecting your gift.
- Halo Headlamp from Nathan. If the runner in your life prefers evening runs or pre-sunrise morning jaunts, a quality headlamp will allow him or her to see better and stay safer. This one is a little pricey but may be worth it for the enhanced visibility. Your runner will be prepared for the popular Ragnar Relays and other races around the country that require headlamps to be worn at night.
- Travel Stick roller. I own this and love it. It’s portable and comes in handy after races and training runs.
- Runner’s World subscription. Whether your loved one is a new runner or a more experienced one, he or she will appreciate the wealth of knowledge in Runner’s World. The magazine teems with running advice, recipes, gear recommendations, and articles about runners.
