Last Updated on August 14, 2024 by Amanda Brooks

We’ve already established that I think it’s really important to keep running fun. And part of that is finding ways to laugh about this crazy sport we’ve chosen from quotes to great running puns!

I’ve heard some really awful running jokes over the years. And some that really made me chuckle. And a few that got a big old guffaw (usually the great running memes)! In general, I find puns to land in the Dad joke category of a good chuckle.

But let’s find out which one’s are on track for you.

Best Running Puns

Let’s first just clarify that a pun, while often corny is a specific type of joke. And they can come in quite handy to diffuse tense situations, cheer up a friend or just remember that running isn’t that serious.

It exploits the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words which sound alike, but have different meanings. So yes, here we’re got a lot of opportunities to swap words and make all of life just a little bit more about us, runners.

If you’re looking to create some of your own. Here are a few words you can expect to see:

One = Run
Soul = Sole
Chased = Chaste
