Gear up for the run at Sport Chek!
If youβd like to treat yourself to some spring running gear before or after the Motherβs Day Run, Sport Chek has everything you need from running shoes to water bottles. Sign up for the run and take advantage of your exclusive Motherβs Day Run discount from May 6-10, 2021 in-store on select brands!
I highly recommend Under Armourβs HeatGear line for spring and summer because itβs light, moisture wicking, and quick drying. (For cold weather, try their ColdGear line. With its super soft fleece lining, you might wear it every day like my kids do!) The UA Run Streaker Inverse Tank is made of non-chafing material so itβs really comfortable, and the UA Infinity High Padded Adjustable Bra has a hook closure at the back and adjustable straps that ensure you get the perfect fit and awesome support for your girls. The matching UA Run Fly Fast Speed Print Tights have a drawstring at the waist to prevent them from falling down and are super lightweight material to prevent overheating. If you prefer a longer length, get the UA Run Fly Fast Print Crop Tights that go a few inches below the knee.
While Sport Chek has all the top brands of running shoes, Saucony runners are my fav because of the fit and support they provide. My Saucony Womenβs Freedom 3 Running Shoes are so light and comfortable, I actually look forward to training in them! Of course you canβt forget socks, so I got a cute set of moisture-absorbing socks from Adidas to match my outfit.
