One of my very first running shirts was one that declared “Running Sucks.” I loved wearing it, especially while out running, for all the smiles it brought out. Other runners would offer a knowing nod as they headed in the other direction. During the Portland Marathon this October, a fellow runner beside me (when we were near mile 18 and the temperature was in the 80s) declared: “This sucks.” Another runner responded that we were making it through. “Yeah, and it sucks.” Ah the life of a runner.
I am so grateful that thanks to RunnerMrch I get to expand my fun running clothes and bring more smiles to more faces (and have a shirt my grandmother doesn’t think is inappropriate). The creators behind this brand are all about the journey you are on. They have designs focused on everyone: 5K runners, marathoners, ultra-enthusiasts, trail runners, strength builders, and lots of folks in between. And their designs vary among t-shirt, tank top, and hoodies so I’ll be checking them out again when (if?) it gets cool this fall.
I got to try out three of their shirts and a pair of shorts as part of this review. The shirts are super soft, super simple (in a great way!), and super colorful even after a few washes. I love that each design is just a few colors that really pops. They are perfect for rest days, after a run, or when you want to go out in the world and still be a “runner.”
The shorts are a great length for avoiding thigh chafe and have one of those essential pockets in the back. Again with a simple and striking blue color, I am all set to mix and match in the early hours without a lot of hard thinking.
