Trail Running

Head off the beaten track in adidas trail running gear

Trail running is a great way to combine your passion for running with the great outdoors. Although the rugged terrain can be challenging, you can stay active while connecting with nature. adidas has an excellent collection of apparel, shoes and accessories for hitting the trail or a hiking adventure. From breathable shorts and water-repellent pants to moisture-wicking tank tops, versatile fleece jackets and durable rain jackets, adidas has you covered so you are comfortable on the trail. Opt for technical, sweat-wicking fabrics and light layers that you can shed so you don’t overheat.

Trail running 101: Wear the right shoes

Running on trails means that you must pay attention to the constantly changing terrain, as it can quickly vary from dirt paths to slippery rocks, roots and muddy ground. Proper trail running shoes emphasise traction and stability, while ensuring your feet are comfortable. adidas has a range of superior quality shoes and shoes for men, women and kids that are made for trail running. The waterproof build keeps your feet dry, while responsive cushioning offers energy return in every step. Abrasion-resistant overlays offer long-lasting durability and rubber outsoles ensure great grip in wet and dry conditions.

Essential accessories for trail running and hiking

What you take on a trail run depends on the conditions. In warm weather, you may only need shorts, a breathable t-shirt and a sturdy pair of shoes for a short trail run. If you are planning a longer hike when the weather is cold and wet, you may need extra gear to make your run more enjoyable. Get off the beaten track in water-repellent pants with a stretchy waistband and adjustable cuffs to lock out the cold. An insulated, hooded jacket that can pack away easily is also a good option. A hydration pack lets you carry enough water for a longer trail run, while giving you storage space for energy bars, extra clothing and a first aid outfit in case of emergencies.
