Shoes: the gift that keeps on giving

It's impossible to talk about running or trail running without mentioning shoes, the key element for treading the miles with comfort and performance.

Hydration bag: never run dry

When it comes to trail running, hydration is the key to going the distance. The gift of a hydration bag or vest is the assurance of staying well hydrated throughout your efforts.

Poles: a helping hand to climb the peaks

Poles are the essential allies of trail runners who tackle the steepest climbs. The gift of poles is to offer a helping hand to swallow the differences in altitude without suffering too much. Brands such as Leki, Black Diamond, TSL and Guidetti are benchmarks in this field. Light, foldable, ergonomic... each model has something to seduce runners in search of performance. With these gifts, your loved ones will be ready to climb summits, literally and figuratively!

Accessories: perfecting your equipment

It's often the little things that make the big performances. Think of accessories to complete your favorite runner's equipment:
  • Headlamps: Petzl, Black Diamond and Silva offer ideal solutions for safe night running.
