Runner’s World – The Best Gift Subscription Boxes for Runners
By Hailey Middlebrook and Morgan Petruny October 14, 2020 There are few things more satisfying than getting a killer swag bag at a race. No, not those wimpy drawstrings filled with a few coupons and a lonely PowerBar—we’re talking the generous sacks stuffed with a T-shirt, snacks, sports gels, stroopwafels, sunscreen, the whole nine yards. Getting a bag like that makes the pain train you signed up for worth its ticket price. But wouldn’t it be nice if you could get swag like that regularly, without even having to toe a start line? Enter: monthly subscription boxes for runners. Here, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorites, from great boxes of runner-centric gear and goods to food and fitness boxes that anyone will love. As an added bonus, these are great for that runner-buddy who you’re having a hard time finding a perfect gift for. Once they subscribe, it truly will be a gift that keeps on giving.

April 15, 2020 | By Claire Hyman Getting a gift for your mom on Mother’s Day is great, but surprising her every month is even better. Signing her up for a subscription box service is a delightful way to show her you’re thinking about her all year. It’s also an opportunity to get her gear at a discount. We selected five of our favorites, each well-suited for a variety of outdoor enthusiasts. It’s not necessary to commit to a yearly or even monthly subscription for any of these services. You can see if Mom likes the box with a one-time delivery, then re-up the subscription if she’s into it. Delivery Frequency: Ships same day if ordered before 1 p.m.; arrives two to four business days later. If your giftee has a penchant for running, cycling, snacking, or snacking while cycling, the Rider Giftbox is a good fit for her lifestyle. This service is staffed by athletes who handpick endurance and fuel products for each box to help cyclists and runners gear up for high-output days and recharge afterward. Each shipment contains up to 15 items, including snacks from brands like Skratch Labs and Tailwind Nutrition, both of which were included in our roundup of the best fuel of 2019.

While there are hundreds of boxes to choose from — there’s one for just about every outdoor interest — not all of them are created equal. Here, we cut through the fat and gather four that we’re actually excited about and are worth subscribing to. The RunnerBox For $20 you get 11 to 14 items that are tested by athletes to help runners improve performance.
