Our 2022 Grambassadors are sharing their favorite running-related gifts that they have received for you to buy for yourself #treatyoself or for the runner in your life.
Gift Entry into Grandma’s Marathon
$130
Okay, maybe we are a little biased, but we really can’t think of a better gift for the runner in your life than an entry into the 2022 Grandma’s Marathon. What other gift combines a trip to the North Shore of Lake Superior, a goal to work towards and a free banana at the end?
Grandma’s Marathon Swag
$25-$40
If the runner in your life is training for #GMAS22 or if they have run the race in the past, this is the perfect gift.
Yaktrax
$39.99
“I absolutely love my Yaktrax for running in the winter. Especially this past year with gyms closed and no at-home treadmill I definitely put these to use training for Grandma’s Marathon through late winter and spring! It takes a few runs to get used to them on your feet but it outweighs the risk of falling by far”- Emily Buie
Naked Running Band
$49.99
“I absolutely love the Naked Running Band! It is simple, so comfortable you forget you are wearing it and can hold a ton! I can easily wear this belt to hold all I need for a long run whether it’s twenty miles on the road or several hours on the trail”.- Shannon Hogan
Goodr Sunglasses
$25
“I have spent WAY too much money on running sunglasses over the years. It wasn’t until my mother-in-law gifted me with these running sunglasses that I had never heard of for Christmas that I found a pair that I loved. I now have four pairs of Goodr’s in my running sunglasses rotation. They don’t slip, bounce, or slide at all during any of my runs. Be like my mother-in-law, buy these for a runner in your life and they will be VERY happy!”- Rachel Barger
AfterShockz
$79.95- $159.95
“Oh, man! My runs got so much better once I bought the headphones I kept hearing about on Instagram! The Aftershokz headphones are bone-conducting, so you can literally keep an open ear on your runs to be more aware of your surroundings. The very first time I wore these, I was blown away that I did not have to touch them once during my run! They stay in place, don’t irritate my ears, and definitely live up to the hype!”- Rachel Barger
Fitsoks
$10-$25
“Do you want to gift someone socks without everyone giving you a hard time? Fitsoks are the best! I didn’t realize how important the socks you wore under your running shoes were until I found the right ones! Now I don’t even like running without wearing a pair of Fitsoks. I would be ecstatic to unwrap a pair of these socks!”- Rachel Barger
Runner’s World Magazine Subscription
$20 (+)
“It’s the gift that keeps giving! You can pay for the 6 months, 1 year, or 2 years upfront and your runner gets a new magazine every 2 months! For a little extra you can get runners world plus and have access to tons of online resources and exclusives as well. Plus every 2 months your runner with think of you when they get their new magazine in the mail”- Michelle Ziebarth
