It’s the time of year where deals abound, but are they actually deals?? After testing lots of gear all year long and watching prices, here are the top running gear deals for Black Friday. I tried to focus on the things you told me you were hoping to find right now!
In no specific order, here are some of the best deals I’ve found that will help your running! Many have started early, so I’ve tried to include date ranges where useful.
I have reached out to brands in advance, but will be updating the Black Friday running deals all week because people are rolling things out. AND of course the only real RTTF discounts ever given will be showing up on Cyber Monday.

Allbirds
50% starting on Black Friday. Now that’s a freaking sale.
The Tree Flyer and Tree Dasher I have reviewed recently if you’re interested in this eco-friendly shoe. It’s now one of my go to’s for travel because it looks a bit more stylish and I can do some short easy runs in it happily.

Black Friday Running Watches
Each year on Black Friday I have seen some of the best discounts on watches from a variety of brands. This year looks to be a little more lackluster. There are deals, so hey savings add up, but not the big discounts.
If you’ve been on the hunt and reading all my posts looking for the best running watch, here are the one’s on sale that I would recommend.
Garmin
As of publication, some decent deals…but honestly I’ve seen better, so I’m going to keep watching. See my review and comparison of models from testing.
- Garmin 55 – $50 off at $149 – stellar entry level running watch
- Garmin 265 – $50 off (one of my current go to watches for great HR and data.)
- Garmin Fenix 7 – $200 off (top of the line watch with every gizmo, solar options and sizes)
- Higher discount on the Garmin Fenix 7 models and 955 here >>
Polar
Up to 50% off some items.
- Click here to shop >>
- Polar Vantage V2 has one of the best wrist based HR monitors from my testing, I have used this watch for years. But they’ve excluded the new V3 from this sale, so checkout this Amazon deal!
- I also recommend Polar Chest Strap and the new armband OH1 a lot (marked down $10). The arm band prevents chafing issues and should be as accurate as the H9 (marked down $10). The H10 is going to store data, which most of you don’t need, so can save some bucks.
- Polar Pacer Pro is a good entry level watch – On sale for $230
Treadmill Black Friday Deals
Many of you said this was big on your list and the good news it that this year the deals are back!! Lots of sales are happening already, but the best ones look to be 11/23-11/26.
Admittedly, treadmill sales are not deep price drops like they used to be.
NORDICTRACK
The treadmill I recommend ALL THE TIME is $300 off — NordicTrack 1750 making it $2199
Nordictrack 2450 which is the treadmill that I currently have is $300 off as well. (review of Nordictrack 2450 vs 1750)
Nordictrack T series models are also marked down. These are older styles, but still great if you’re doing a lot of walking or not worried about doing super fast speeds where stability might be an issue.
Sole F80
A treadmill I have long recommended is marked down $1,000 to $1799. I would say at that price point I would personally go with the Nordictrack for the larger screen and features.
Also available at Dicks Sporting Goods – they make the discount look bigger, but also might be a better shipping or pick up option.
Sole F63
If you’re looking for a still good, but more budget friendly treadmill this one is now under $1000 on Dick’s or currently slightly higher on the Sole website.
Bowflex Treadmill 10
$300 off + free shipping making it $1699. This really is a great model that has both incline and DECLINE, which I love for training. It’s going to be sturdy and hit on what runners need.
Other At Home Fitness Equipment Deals
- Nordictrack S27i Bike is $200 off and going to give you the same Peloton type experience
- Bowflex 552 Select Tech Dumbbells – $80 off + Free shipping — massive win as this means you now have adjustable dumbbells that are truly going to allow you to push your strength. Rarely on sale.
- Nordictrack Fusion Studio – $500 off, this is like a Tonal machine with everything built in!
- Spin Bike – Now we’re 1/8th of the price of a Peloton and you can still use the app!
- Perform Better Mini bands and other at home equipment up to 40% off. These are the bands that EVERY PT uses and I freaking love them.
- Normatec Boots $100 off – I know some of you were looking for these!
Hydrow Rowing Machine
We added this to our home gym in 2022 and it’s become a stellar part of our cross training. Not only is rowing a great full body low impact workout, but the classes keep both David and I going.
Beyond rowing there are Pilates and Yoga and other workouts that are going to help runners.
We have the Wave which is lighter and stands up to move out of the way! It now comes in a variety of colors which is AWESOME and this is the first time they’ve ever run a discount.
- Hydrow Original – $500 off
OR - Hydrow Wave incl. x4 Wave of Colors (New Products) – $450 off — this is the model we have
Running Gear Black Friday Deals
UPDATES IN PROGRESS FOR THIS SECTION, SOME MAY NOT YET BE ACTIVE
- Sweaty Betty – 50% of their best stuff! Not the oops no one likes this, but the power leggings I talk about and ADORE, plus so much more.
- LULULEMON – All the Align Tights (winter and with phone pocket), a bunch of short sleeve and tanks and the Rain Chaser Jacket are $20-$30 off. So good, but nothing mind blowing.
- Athleta – Offering a 30% off discount. They actually have tights that are long enough and some good winter options, so a worthwhile discount. (what they did last year)
- Patagonai Houdini Jacket 50% off ($53)– Have often recommended this as a great lightweight jacket.
- Tracksmith – 40% off 11/23 to 11/27 – CODE HARVEST20. I LOVE the baselayer shirt, the sweatshirts are so comfy and I’m just testing out some new tights, they seem great too. Ideal for those like me who love understated neutrals that last. (what they did last year)
- Craft Sportswear is 25% orders with code BF25OFF — I have raved about their wind blocking mittens and running tights. Top quality gear that lasts and lasts.
- Patagonia to Smartwool – Variety of run gear up to 40% off men’s and women’s – use filters to find what’s left in your size
IBEX Merino Wool Gear
This is going to be another sitewide sale, wohooo. These are the gloves that I have told you about repeatedly as my current go to option because they are a good fit, nice amount of warmth for most days and I can actually use my phone with them on.
I have other gear from IBEX like base layers and sweatshirts that are also awesome.
- 11/24-/11/27
- Code: bundleup
- Checkout the Unisex gloves
Jack Wolfskin
This brand may be less familiar to runners, but they’re huge in the outdoors and to me make some great options for runners.
In fact, one that caught my eye is the new Passamani Down Jacket. Mostly because with two layers it’s going to be so fun for our snowshoe adventures AND with the lighter layer is going to be great for snowy mornings where I don’t need all the warmth, but need to stay dry.
- 11/23-11/28
- 30% off Sitewide
In fact, Coach Stacey moving to Colorado this week will be testing out their newest Cyrox 2L Down Jacket. The multiple layers are going to provide options for those cool runs and those very cold days I get her out snowshoeing!
Running Accessories
Swiftwick Socks
I can’t believe how much I talk about the need for good running socks, but here we are again. And Swiftwick is the brand I wear most often, partially because they don’t stink to toss in my luggage while traveling.
- 11/21 – Mon 11/27
- 25% Off Sitewide
- I like their Aspire Zero, but David uses a ton of their National Park socks for biking.
Nathan Sports Hydration Packs (and Gear)
YESSSS hydration packs are on so many gift lists, I hope this helps you out. I have worn my Nathan Pinnacle an insane amount and it’s one that would be permitted at the big races with flasks!
- 11/22-11/28
- 30% off Sitewide
- Nathan Stealth Jacket is a go to for me in Fall and Spring (originally $100)
- Nathan Rain Jacket is David’s must for the bike (originally $150)
- I’ve tested a ton of their hydration packs and really like them all
Ultimate Direction Hydration Packs
Especially if you need a waist belt, they have some options that are actually comfortable. But of course they have a million different models of vests as well to find the one that holds just the amount that you need.
- 25% off sitewide
- Also I’ve tested some of their shorts with bottle holders and they’re pretty awesome too.
Shokz Headphones
Man these appear to be on a lot of runner gift idea lists!! And I get it, they provide a great safety option for being able to listen to your music but remain aware of what’s happening.
- Shokz openrun are $40 off ($89) — not quite as slim as the pro version
- Shokz openrun Pro are marked down 30% to $124
- Shokz open fit are $30 ($149) – this is their newest over the ear bud style headphone
- Shokz Swim marked down to $105 – seriously a win if you’re doing pool workouts
Beats Pro Earbuds
These were one of the most recommended earbuds when I started shopping around this year. You all said they stayed in and worked great!
Quality sound and a seriously long battery life, these are winners for long runs.
- Over the ear option is $100 off ($149)
- Beats Pro Noise Canceling buds ($179) I think these might drop more
Jaybird Vista 2 Wireless Earbuds
NOT YET, but I’ve seen this deal multiple years.
35% off normal dropping them to $99
These are the earbuds you see me running in day in and day out. I’ve used them for years now and find them to be both comfortable and with a great battery life. Their longevity makes the price worth it for me.
- Active noise canceling and AWARENESS – so that means it let’s in all sounds and it’s like you don’t have them in
- Super long battery life
- Earbuds can be tracked like find my phone
Additional
- Biolite – Excellent headlamps, 25% off
- High density foam roller — I have this one! Marked down to $16

Thanks for compiling all these deals in one spot. Normatec is on sale for $845 from $1200 ish. Still a splurge, but that’s the best deal I’ve ever seen!
