Run The Distance

THE FINISH IS OVERRATED. THE START IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

But the space between, where the miles and moments become an ocean between the waves, that’s where the magic happens. The experience waits in the distance.

Favorite Mtn Shorts

"My faves for summer in the mountains. Looking to buy another pair if/when these are back in stock for my size (waiting a couple of months now)."

Bunny (5/5)

Go-to

"These are my go-to running shorts. I don't wear any of my other running shorts anymore and I'm likely going to buy another pair."

Justin F. (5/5)

Feel great!

"These feel great and are the perfect length."

Kaitlin I. (5/5)

Please make a linerless or boxer-brief version

"Aside from the brief style liner, these shorts are great. I love the roomy cut, which provides for unrestricted movement even while climbing or scrambling. The pockets are functional and keep small items from bouncing around too much. I can fit an iPhone SE in the back zippered pocket easily, when I remove the carrying case. While the brief liner might be of good quality, there are many people who simply just don't like integrated liners and/or don't like wearing briefs."

Karl H. (4/5)

Material

"They seem durable for how light weight and I love the color"

Christopher C. (5/5)

I want to love these shorts. . .

"But the zippered pocket in the back that is advertised to fit a phone doesn't fit a phone. My Samsung Galaxy S23+ with a thin case doesn't come close to properly fitting in the pocket. This, for me, is a deal breaker. The rest of the short is great. Feels durable, fits comfortably well and looks good. But if you have a modern smartphone, plan to wear a waist belt or vest to carry your phone while running in these shorts."

Jason H. (3/5)

Great shorts

"The Distance Shorts have quickly become my go-to for weekday summer trail runs. Light, long enough for coverage but not too long, great pockets for all the necessities, and a light weight material that I expect to hold up over time."

Russell K. (4/5)

Tried and tested.

"Fit great! Wish the side pockets were a little bit bigger but overall 5 stars."

Zachary S. (5/5)

Distance Shorts

"Super comfy and great for travel 😎"

Gregory G. (5/5)

Great running shorts

"Love the integrated liner and elastic waist. The pockets are well thought out and designed to keep things from falling out when you’re moving. The fit is spot on and they dry extremely fast. My favorite pair of running shorts by far."
