Best Running Gear for Moms 2023
Buyers Guide | Fleet Feet
Running while raising children brings a whole new set of challenges—from the changes your body goes through during and after pregnancy to figuring out when to train with little ones.
We think these challenges are worth it. Not only do running moms set a great example for their kids, putting an emphasis on fitness, but the mental and physical benefits of running can help you reduce stress and feel better. As a happier and healthier mom, you can chase your kids around the yard or playground and are more patient when they have that next meltdown.
To help all the moms, we compiled a list of gear that can help make the challenges of being a mother runner a bit easier.
Some of the everyday running products have dual purposes that help out with everyday life as well as running. We made this list based on personal experience and helping thousands of moms each and every day in our stores.
Whether you are looking for tips for busy moms who want to get in shape or looking to break the world record for the fastest half marathon while running with a three-child stroller, here is the best running gear for moms:
- rabbit Mother Runner Remix Tee and Tank
- Thule Glide 2 Jogging Stroller
- Brooks Dare Racerback Run Bra 2.0
- Hypervolt Go 2
- Picky Bars
- Body Glide for Her
- Brooks Method Short Tight
- Vuori Performance Joggers
- ASICS Gel-Cumulus 25
- Thinksport Safe Sunscreen
- New Balance Heat Grid Half-Zip
- NUUN
- OOFOS Oolala Sandals
- Buff

If you have recently given birth, we recommend going to your local Fleet Feet and getting refit for running shoes. Pregnancy and giving birth can change the size of the shoe you wear, the shape of your foot and your running gait. We also recommend getting fit for a new sports bra, especially if you are breastfeeding since the size and support you need change based on your enlarged breasts.

Thule Glide 2 Jogging Stroller
Share your love of running with your child by taking them with you on your daily runs with the Thule Glide 2 Jogging Stroller. This stroller is made for running—it has excellent suspension, a fixed front wheel, an aerodynamic design and even room for your kick stride.
Your kid will be comfortable in the reclining chair and padded harness, and you can check on them with the peek-a-boo window. Let them ride in style while you get your run done in the Thule Glide 2 Jogging Stroller.

Brooks Dare Racerback Run Bra 2.0
Make sure your breasts are supported with the Brooks Dare Racerback Run Bra 2.0. Let’s face it, your breasts are one of the things that change the most during pregnancy and motherhood, especially if you are breastfeeding or have breastfed your little ones.
The Brooks Racerback Run Bra gives you plenty of support with its encapsulated, molded cups that prevent headlights from showing. If you are breastfeeding, the adjustable straps will give you easy access without taking off your bra and the molded cups give you a little extra coverage in case there is any leakage.

Hyperice Hypervolt Go 2
If running wasn’t hard enough, Motherhood comes with a whole new set of aches and pains. Whether your back hurts from carrying your child, you have sciatica during pregnancy or you just need a good massage, the Hypervolt Go 2 comes in handy.
This percussion massager gives you a great massage that you can squeeze in whenever you have a chance—because sometimes the only time you have for a massage is after your kids go to sleep. Plus, the small, convenient size means that you can fit it into some purses or give yourself a massage while waiting to pick up your kids from one of their hundreds of activities.

Picky Bars

Body Glide for Her

Brooks Method Short Tight
The Brooks Method Short Tights are smooth and supportive for any mother runner. They have pockets on either side and the back that can fit most phones, ideal for if you are running without kids but want to make sure whoever is watching them can get ahold of you. If you are running with a jogging stroller, it gives you more storage, which moms know is key when going anywhere with children.
With two lengths to choose from, you can pick the pair that works best for you. Plus, you can wear these under a dress and not have to worry about showing your underwear when your kid wants you to chase them around the playground.
