Best Running Shorts for a Marathon (or Half)
It’s all about eliminating the danger of chafing, and keeping you dry even at mile 22. Lycra short tights are great for medium temperatures. If it’s going to be hot, lean into the 2-in-1 shorts with their very light lycra liners and featherlight outer shorts. Or you could go for mega-light minimalism.
Let's not forget pockets for all those gels and, of course, your phone. We’re talking stash thigh-pockets, back zip-pockets, or gel loops – lots of clever solutions. See the next section for more options too...
Running Shorts with Phone Pocket
Want more ways to carry your phone, keys, nutrition or other small items? No problem! Small explanation: ‘trail’ is used to indicate loads of storage, not some kind of only-suitable-for-the-hills shorts. Check out How to Carry Keys & Phone while Running.

The right pair of shorts could transform your running experience. It's rather simple actually, and we all have our preferences when it comes to comfort and practicality – to optimise more freedom to move and enhance our performance. To eliminate friction and unpleasant irritation, check out ones constructed with inner shorts that fit close to the body. Below are some of our favourite and bestselling styles.
