You probably already know that Road Runner Sports is The place to buy your running shoes. Did you know that Road Runner also has their own brand of running apparel (R-Gear) and accessories for men and women? In the past, I’ve always walked right by it and headed to the bigger brand items that I was familiar with. More recently, I’ve noticed the bright colors and fashionable designs of the Road Runner Sports summer line. So, when I was offered the chance to test out some of their new gear, I ran in to check it out.
I aimed to test a wide variety of styles so I could report back to you all! First up-running skirts. I love to run in skirts during the summer but I am very picky about them.
This one, The R-Gear Flutter By skirt, ($40.49 VIP) immediately caught my eye because I loved the color and the flirty style of the skirt. It was the perfect length for me and I love the built in shorts. The inner shorts are a compression style with a pocket on the outer thigh big enough to hold gels or keys. The Runner’s High sleeveless, minty green tank is a great summer weight with a zippered rear pocket and mesh side panels. One of the other things I like about their line is that the colors mix and match well to create multiple outfits.
When I took this out for a test run, I was surprised by how comfortable the skirt was. I did not feel any chafing or riding up from the compression short. This has become one of my favorite running outfits. Additionally, It is universally flattering on a number of body types.
Next up: The R-Gear 2-in-1 Mixed Message 4″ short. I was immediately drawn to the coral color and shorter length shorts. I usually shy away from double shorts because I think they will be too warm. These were light and comfortable and I really enjoyed running in them as well. There are a ton of color combos and I plan to get another pair. The inner compression short is similar to the short under the skirt and again they did not ride up o bother me at all. I paired these with the R-Gear Runner’s High Singlet which also has the mesh panels and a side zip pocket for music or phone. There is also a cord opening to manage headphones.
Lastly, I donned these cool looking R-Gear Get Graphic lace capris. It was too hot to wear these on a run this week but I did wear them to a barre class. They were light and flexible and perfect for an indoor class or for those not comfortable wearing shorts or skirts. They are not actually lace but a lace print which made them pretty fashionable. I paired them with a R-Gear Shades of Grey tanks. I thought it made for a pretty cute outfit which again can be mixed and matched with the above tanks.
Accessories-I’ve been wearing the Road Runner brand socks for a few years now. They are very durable, breathable and wash well. They come in numerous styles and colors. I’ve been wearing the R-Gear Dryroad Simple & Speedy which are sold in a 3-pack for $26.99 (VIP price).
I was pleasantly surprised to come across the new R-Gear Safe from Chafe balm ($8.99 VIP). I’ve had some issues with chafing this summer and this was great. I like the added aloe and Vitamin E which some of the other leading brands do not have. It is fragrance free as well. The price is great too. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and no complaints.
A great basic for summer runs the R-Gear Shady Lady visor ($13.49 VIP) is a lightweight, velcro adjustable, stylish visor. I’m really not a hat or visor person but I hardly felt this on my head during a run. It stayed in place and did not need further adjusting at all. For the price, it’s a great deal.
Lastly, I always carry water with me on summer runs. Road Runner has a co-branded water belt with Fuel Belt for this 2 (10 oz.) bottle holder with a zippered pouch. You can mix and match with any Fuel Belt water bottles. I have been running with this same belt for over a year and love it. I prefer to have my belt on my hips instead of my waistband. With this velcro adjustable band you can wear it where ever it feel comfortable. It did not bounce around or ride up on me at all. The pouch holds my keys and gels with plenty of room.

I love their stuff too-great quality and now such cute options
I’ve never shopped at a RoadRunner – they don’t have any locations in Florida, as far as I know. 🙁 It’s hard to choose, but I think my first choice would be a skirt – I love running in them, and they look adorable! And I also need some new tops, so a singlet would be my second choice. Thanks for this fantastic giveaway!!!
I know they don’t have stores everywhere but they have a great return policy! I love the skirt

Oh you have to get one-it would look great on you
This is great! I had no idea this line existed! I would probably buy a running skirt. The one you have looks great and it seems like a really good price! BTW, this is the first time I have come to your blog via my PC ( I am usually on my phone). You have a great site. I love all the colors ( I don’t see all that via the mobile version…lol)
Well thanks and I am glad you stopped by the real site. My friend designed it and I think she did a great job. The skirt is great!
I die for those capris! What a great review of all of their goods!
The capris are even cuter in person. Definitely check them out!

i love it when you post pictures, because you are just so dang cute! that gear looks GREAT on you 🙂

The quality is just as good and the prices are way better!
I really enjoy the R-Gear clothing…I have socks, tank tops and a running skirt! I’d love to try running shorts!

I’ve never shopped at RoadRunner but I would love to! I could always use some new shorts and running shirts!
Their stuff is great quality and the colors are great to mix and match
I have not work R Wear in a while. It has come a long way! I have been trying every pair of 2 in 1 shorts out there b/c my Hind ones that I race in (forever) are starting to disintegrate, so I think 2 in 1s and some nice tanks for summer would be my pick. Thank you!!
Their stuff has changed a lot in the past year or so. It is very fashionable and great quality. Thanks for stopping by hope to see you again!
Ooooooooo those shorts are too cute! I would totally get those! And probably the capris.
The shorts were so comfortable! I’m going to get another pair
I have always enjoyed the Road Runner brand apparel but haven’t bought anything from them since they introduced the R-Gear line. It all looks cute!

I love the Going Places Cardi and the Graphic Lace Capris that you posted. I have never tried this brand before. Their stuff looks nice
It’s great quality and super cute colors. Thanks for commenting!
I really like the Road Runner Sports gear. I just joined their VIP program last year and have gotten a ton of stuff. My favorite is the 4-inch compression shorts. They are great for long runs and do not ride up.
I love the basic shorts as well. Their VIP program rocks!
I love their brand! I own several tanks (just got a super cute racerback one a few weeks ago), a pair of shorts, some winter pants, etc.
They do have lots of great tanks right now!
I love all of this stuff! What a great, all inclusive, company!

Wow really you have to check it out!
All good choices! Good luck!
Wow. Some great stuff there.
Definitely! The men’s line is great too! Hope you check it out
I’ve never worn any R-Gear before, but if I won I’d definitely buy some tank tops with the gift card. I don’t have any athletic wear tanks and I’d love to add some to my wardrobe!

Cute cute! I’ve never heard of R Gear before but just love! I’m a big fan of running skirts and love printed capris so those are first on my list to get 🙂
I already have several R-Gear items (long-sleeved shirts, tanks, etc.) and they are great! I’d love to try their running skirts.
The skirts are great! I really like running in them. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
These outfits are cute! But I LOVE the lace graphic capris. I am still on the fence about running skirts. Can’t quite find a comfortable one.
The lace capri is even cuter in person. I really truly find the skirt very comfy. They have a great return policy if you don’t like it.
I was NEVER a visor or hat person and have looked for ages for anything to work especially because I need to keep out of the sun a bit more . I was STOKED when I found and fell in love with their visors!!! I only have one but need more! Looking forward to checking out their clothing line…that stuff looks cute, Deborah!
The visor is nice and light. I’m not a hat person either but it’s great. Thanks for stopping by!
Not yet, but I LOVE the lace print on the capris and would definitely get those for running!! 🙂
The capri pants are so cute in person and very comfortable. Good luck1
I’d like to try the Runner’s High sleeveless tank. During my summer runs, I usually wear a tank top and having an extra pocket would be great.
The extra pocket is a great bonus. I love the light material on the tanks. Thanks for stopping by!
I actually do not own any Road Runner Sports apparel, but I would love to! I think I’d buy a few good pairs of running shorts and a couple of pairs of socks. I’m training for a half right now and I could definitely use some new gear.
absolutely! We all need new summer gear right. The shorts are very comfortable as well. I’ve had a few pairs over the last couple of years. Thanks for stopping by hope to see you again!
I LOVE that green top with the pocket!!
the mint green top is great. The fabric is light and cool. Thanks for stopping by!
Wow! Great stuff…and love the modeling! 🙂
Aw thanks! hope you check out their gear. Thanks for visiting today-come back and say hi sometime. 🙂
Will do! Thanks!
I’ve never even heard of R-gear. I really need new shorts, that’s what I’d look for!
They have great shorts as well!
I think if I purchase or win, or some how obtain another work out outfit, my friends and family are going to throw me in work out clothing rehab! LOL!
I hide it sometimes! Shh it will be our little secret
I have a bunch of RRS tanks and a few pairs of running shorts. I love their stuff!
Me too! The quality is great! thanks for stopping by hope to see you again soon

I haven’t had a chance to buy R-Gear yet but I went to Road Runners last month to get a new pair of shoes and loved the store! I would check out the running skirts and shorts =)
Great idea you will love them! Good luck
Wow, RR has really stepped up their game with the gear. It’s been a while since I’ve checked it out and I’m the same way with my shorts, but would consider giving those 2in1 shorts a try. I was loving The Flutter by Skort, the Shades of Grey tank, and the Hidden Agenda tank, too!
They have really changed their style and improved the cuteness factor quite a bit. Good luck and hope to see you again.
Yes I love their compression shorts and capris.. I also have some of their tank tops and love those too!
I love their shorts too and the quality is great. Thanks for visiting today-good luck
Hi I live in Virginia and there is a Road Runner store near me. I totally agree with Deborah. Since moving here from the UK 2years ago it was my first place to go and ask for advice. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. Give great advice and are no pushing products at you. I use their ” shoe dog” for shoes and have never been disappointed and their clothes are always fit for purpose. If for any reason any item of clothing or shoes purchased are not suitable there exchange/refund policy is awesome. I can highly recommend this store.
I totally agree Louise! Glad you like your gear too. Good luck with the raffle I would love for one of my friends to win. 🙂
I haven’t bought any R Geat yet but I’d love to buy the Women’s ASICS GEL-Kayano 20
Good luck with the raffle (it doesn’t include shoes though) and those are my fave shoe too
Only recently got into running, and need to gear up! This would be a great head start!
Thanks for the giveaway!
absolutely! that’s part of the fun! Thanks for dropping by hope to see you again
I have never purchased anything from Road Runner before but it looks like great clothing! I would definitely invest in a cute outfit, a pair of socks (I swear mine are all missing) and a visor or hat!
Love the socks, and the visor is nice and light. I’m not usually a hat person but this one doesn’t bug me at all.
Good to know! I am not really a hat person either but I have been contemplating buying one summer running purposes & to get my hair out of my face! 🙂
I highly recommend it!
