TRAIL RUNNING ACCESSORIES

READ: BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO TRAIL RUNNINGTHE BEST GADGETS TO IMPROVE YOUR RUNNING

Your performance off-road is supported by more than just your shoes and clothing. This collection of trail running accessories provides the specialised equipment you need to handle the unique demands of unpredictable terrain, changing weather, and long-distance efforts. Each item is selected to solve a specific trail-related problem, from carrying capacity to navigation and safety.

A core challenge on the trail is carrying your essentials without disrupting your movement. Our running backpacks and hydration vests are built for a stable, bounce-free fit, using adjustable straps to create a secure, close-to-body feel. With multiple pockets and options for hydration systems like soft flasks or bladders, they provide organised storage for your water, fuel, and extra layers, allowing you to move with freedom.

For long days in the hills or on technical ground, specialised equipment can make a significant difference. Running poles are an invaluable aid on steep ascents and descents, helping to preserve energy on the climbs while offering extra stability and balance when navigating difficult terrain. For runs that start before dawn or end after dusk, a powerful head torch is a fundamental piece of safety equipment, illuminating the path ahead so you can run with confidence.

This selection also includes the details that support consistent training. A running cap or a pair of sport-specific sunglasses offers protection on exposed routes. Anti-chafing balms can prevent skin irritation during ultra-distance events, while waterproof phone cases keep your electronics safe from the elements. This is the gear that allows you to focus completely on your run

Sort By:

Essential trail running accessories include hydration packs or soft flasks for water, energy gels or bars for fuelling, technical running socks, lightweight hats or caps for sun protection, sunglasses, and a running backpack for carrying extra layers or safety items. These accessories help you stay comfortable, energised, and prepared for changing trail conditions.

Hydration is crucial for maintaining energy and performance on the trails. Options include handheld water bottles, hydration vests, or soft flasks that fit easily into running packs. For longer or remote runs, consider water purification tablets or filters to refill safely from natural sources.

Safety accessories include head torches or running lights for low-light conditions, reflective vests or bands for visibility, and a whistle or emergency ID tag for emergencies. Carrying a fully charged phone, map, or GPS watch also helps you stay on route and alert others to your location.

Yes, energy gels, chews, or bars provide quick fuel, and electrolyte tablets or drink mixes help replace minerals lost through sweat. Keeping these items in easy-to-reach pockets or a running belt ensures you can refuel without stopping.

Lightweight, packable jackets protect against wind and rain, while buffs or neck gaiters offer versatile coverage from sun, wind, or cold. Sunglasses and hats shield you from UV rays, and gloves may be needed for colder or early morning runs.

Use a running backpack, hydration vest, or belt with multiple pockets to carry water, nutrition, spare clothing, and safety gear. Choose a pack that fits snugly and minimises bounce for comfort over varied terrain.
