Happy Friday! I am excited to share a new product with you that will change the way you run in the dark. RunLites are a new running glove with built in rechargeable lights allowing you to run safer at night or early morning.
While running the American Odyssey relay last month, we wore head lamps which absolutely made us visible to cars and traffic but did not really allow me to see much of what was in front of me. We also had a few clip on LED lights that had the tendency to fall off or bounce around while running. Enter the RunLites a new option for night and early morning runs or walks.
Run Safer
Runlites are lightweight gloves that fit similar to a biking glove with an easy turn on/off light in two brightness settings. The gloves are unisex and available in a number of color options. The built in lights are designed to last for 6-12 hours depending on which setting they are on and can then be recharged with an included USB port. No need to buy batteries which is a huge plus to me.
There are a few more great features of RunLites: there is a small palm pocket to put in a key and they are also lined with a reflective strip and are completely breathable and washable. 2 styles are available-the fingerless lightweight model that I have here or a polar fleece model. Runlites retail between $35-39 depending on the style.
I wore these last night on my Adventure Run and they really do light up the way and made me feel more secure about running on the sidewalk.
Runlites were recently feature in Fitness Magazine as the run gear you didn’t know you needed here.
Sound good to you? I am giving away a pair of your choice. Enter the Rafflecopter below and run safer at night with RunLites:
I don’t go on too many night time runs but when I do next, these RunLites gloves will certainly be coming with me!

I was provided a pair of RunLites in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are as always my own.
What keeps you safe and seen on night runs?
Linking up with Nicole
These look awesome! I hate running in the dark because I don’t have any good equipment for it!
I was impressed by how lightweight they were
I don’t do a whole lot of in the dark running either, but I do occasionally — early morning runs in the summer, late night runs if it’s unseasonably warm in the winter.
I have a blinking LED that clips on. And some other stuff like that, but I know I need more.
I didn’t think the blinking lights helped me see on the relay runs but they did help cars see me. These gloves light the path in front of you.
I love/need these! I live in the middle of no where and it’s really poorly lit!
I really liked running with them they are so light I didn’t mind them at all.
I would love to try these! I use knuckle lights and arm bands. I love that these are gloves and you don’t have to hold them, you wear them!! Happy Friday!
I have used knuckle lights as well but I did like these better bc I didn’t have to hold onto them and they don’t need batteries
Bright reflective clothing! I’m moving to a city soon, so these would be awesome for being seen by cars and the like! :O
Yes definitely!
These look so cool! Thank you for sharing!
I really liked them as well.
These are AMAZING! I really need to get these. I don’t run at night often but these would definitely make me feel safer and encourage me to get out there! Thanks for sharing!
I really liked them! Thanks for entering
I have that skirt and those shoes!
When it’s completely dark, I run with a flashing LED arm band so that I can be seen. However, I’ve never used anything to help me see while running — only when cycling. I’d like to try these! Thanks.
That’s exactly what they are for! Thanks for entering
My husband is in the military so we have a ton of their highly reflective running belts all over my house. So that plus a running light is how I stay seen when I run in the wee hours of the morning.
That sounds like a great plan
Love the idea! No bulky headlight 🙂 Thanks for the review and giveaway!
thanks for stopping by!
I run with my dog. She and I both wear reflective gear and I have a headlamp. You never can have enough lights and reflectivity!
I agree!
Too bad you didn’t have those gloves for your Odyssey run. They would have been perfect. My sister got to try a pair out and she ready liked them as we.
I know they are perfect for relay races
Right now I wear lighted bracelets to keep visible at night. These gloves would work even better because they wouldn’t get caught in the sleeves of my jacket.
That’s true! Thanks for stopping by today
These are so great! I would totally use these during Ragnar
They would be perfect!
thank you deborah! last semester i started doing a lot of night runs, but only had like 2 tanks that were good for the night. i’ve been looking for a handband or something but these would be even better!
question:
are they light weight? or keep you warm?
They are very light weight and there is also a winter version that I have not tried.
I typically run with a headlamp, but I LOVE the idea of these gloves! Knuckle lights (or whatever they’re called) are neat, but I think I’d grow tired of needing to hold them while running – these are such a great solution!
I agree it does get tiring holding them
Ohhh I do like the idea of this I hate to carry along a flashlight and those hat lights don’t seem to work well for me.
Those are beyond awesome!
Yes they are great thanks for entering
Brightly colored clothing helps keep me visible when I run in the dark.
I only walk in the day time but these look cool.
They really are!
If I didn’t love solo running so much, I’d really love a running partner who likes to run in the dark, as I find it to be so peaceful to be out when the rest the world isn’t:)
These gloves would come in handy for a lot of races that start in the super early hours in non-lit areas. Or even Ragnar or other overnight races. Never would have thought about something like this, kinda creative!!!
Yes absolutely thanks for entering
These are awesome! They’d be great for my early morning runs in the winter!
Yes exactly!
These look awesome! I’m not a early morning or late night runner, but sometimes a dusk runner. It tends to be on busy streets and/or wooded trails so this will definitely help. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for entering!
We have to really watch traffic at night near where I live in the city core… these would be a big help. Thanks for the opportunity to win some!
Awesome good luck with the raffle
These are really cool. I’ve never seen anything like them before. I’d love to have a pair of these to run with at night. Thanks for giving a pair away!
They are kind of unique!
When I run at night, I make sure not to wear dark clothing and I did have gloves that had blinking lights. Now that the weather’s warmer, I’d love to try these runlites!
I think they are great for warmer weather as they are fingerless
I wear bright clothes and Altra shoes have reflective elements. I wish I could use these on night runs – love the idea
Thanks for entering and stopping by
I would love these! If I run in the dark, I usually just wear my headlamp. Lights on my hands would complete me.
yes definitely!
I’ve got a reflective vest that I can throw over if I run outside in the dark, but these gloves seem like they’d be a good choice too!
They are a great addition to the vest for sure
I have some lights that clip onto my shoes, but I’d love to win these, mostly for early-morning runs as it’s getting so hot that we’ll have to run super early here for awhile.
They would be great for early morning runs thanks for entering the giveaway
This looks like a great product. I don’t run at night but these are totally something I would look into if I decide to start!
They would be great to have for sure
These lights look great and would be perfect for my early morning runs! Right now I just use my reflective vest and run with friends that have lights, but it would nice to have a pair of my own. 🙂
Oh yes they would be great for you!
When I run at night it’s with my husband and he has lights. But, I think this would be a better option for his 7 day ultra in July. Thanks!
They would be perfect for a relay yes!
Those gloves sound awesome! I really like that you don’t need batteries 🙂
That is a huge plus don’t you think?!
This is one of those things that I think, why didn’t I think of that???

You would love these! Thanks for entering
I have a headlamp for early morning runs, but these looks great! Love the fingerless option 🙂
The fingerless option is great!
I love reflective stuff. I try to wear as much reflective as possible
These would be a great addition to your stash
I wear reflective arm bands and have light ups on my sneakers!
That’s great
I rarely run at night, but sometimes at sunrise. I love my Nathan handheld that is reflective!
These would be a great addition thanks for entering
