BEST GIFTS FOR RUNNERS: 16 ITEMS FOR THOSE ON THE GO

Gifts for runners can be tricky... they are notoriously picky about their gear. For that reason, I rarely gift things like shoes or base layers--the fit is too individual and the runners I know have their loyalties cemented in place. But there are still plenty of items you can wrap up to make their holiday special. These gifts for runners range from tiny tubes of anti-chafe cream, to high-protein running snacks, to a sleek running vest and winter-ready jacket. As always, these come in a variety of prices, from stocking stuffers to splurges, and there's sure to be something for every runner on your list.
