Best Running Subscription Boxes

Whether you’re new to running or have lots of miles under your belt, you’ll appreciate the assortment of quality products in each RunnerBox.

From energy-boosting snacks and fitness supplements to safety gear and self-care products, each item is thoughtfully sourced, tested, and selected by a team of running experts who have athletes’ interests and preferences in mind.

Past boxes have included bars, chews, hydration tablets, snacks, headphones, running belts, and seasonal running gear. Plus, you get exclusive subscriber discounts for some products, so you can order more of your favorites.

The RunnerBox also offers some limited edition and specialty bundles, which are perfect for gift-giving. Boxes ship every other month.

There are three subscription options: a pay-as-you-go plan, which is roughly $42 per box; a six-month prepaid subscription (three boxes) for about $38 per box; and an annual membership (six boxes) for $32 per box.

If you’re new to running, Fun Run Box is a great way to get started on the right foot. Boxes include sports nutrition samples, running apparel and gear, and pampering products. Most of them have a theme and are customized based on gender, clothing size, and shoe size.

Each month, you’ll also get support and inspiration to keep up your running habit, with expert tips and monthly challenges. And you gain access to a private community of runners for socialization and motivation. The monthly running challenges inspire you to take your training to the next level, so you're always pushing yourself.

Although it’s pricier than other boxes on this list, the selection and quality of products, as well as the running tips and motivation boost, make it a good investment.

Fun Run Box shipments are about $37 if you want a pay-as-you go option, but the price decreases with longer subscription plans. A three-month plan is around $35 per month, a six-month plan is roughly $33 per month, and an annual plan is approximately $31 per month.

When that post-run hunger suddenly kicks in, you need some healthy snacks to reach for so you can take the edge off. Enter Fit Snack, a monthly subscription box that includes samples of whole food-based, nutritionist-approved snacks.

You can sample energy bars, lean protein jerky, granola, drinkable soups, healthy chips, and more. Previous boxes have included items from popular brands known for healthy products, such as Top Seedz, Lesser Evil, and Barebells.

Each box is packed with around 10 items. Each one fits into at least two of these categories: organic, vegan, gluten-free, raw, GMO-free, high protein, low sugar, or all natural. You’ll get at least one entirely new and different snack each month, as well as workouts created by an expert personal trainer/nutritionist.

Boxes cost about $30 per month. You can prepay for a three-month ($87), six-month ($168), or 12-month ($323) subscription, and the cost of a box decreases with each subscription tier.

Often times, running subscription boxes can be a great way to find products you might have never heard of. However, sometimes, you just want a box of some of the finest brand names money can buy—which is exactly what you’ll get in Ready.Set.MOVE boxes.

Each box includes full-sized products from several well-known brands, such as BioFreeze, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Nuun, Kind, and so much more. Boxes focused on every aspect of the fitness journey—from energy to recovery to cool gadgets—are shipped every three months. The product choices are always changing, but you can expect recovery tools, healthy snacks, and even funky gear in this all-inclusive box. Boxes are customized by gender (choose from a men’s or women’s box), which may be off-putting to people who don’t identify as either.

Pay $50 plus tax and shipping for one box or $180 plus tax and shipping for the whole year, which will get you one box a quarter for a savings of $20 for the year.

The TheraBox is the ultimate in self-care, and a perfect box to gift (or reward) the runner in your life after they finish a marathon or go the extra mile in their practice. Each box has a value of up to $200 and is curated by therapists for the optimal physical and mental self-care. Each Therabox comes with seven full-size pampering products (such as aromatherapy items and natural, organic bath, body, and skin care stuff, plus other lifestyle items), as well as one self-care activity that’s scientifically been proven to boost your mood. 

The box is delivered monthly, and subscribers can expect everything from luxe organic face oils to bath salts and recovery balms. However, it’s worth noting that some of these items, like the face creams and masks, may not appeal to everyone, and the skincare products may not work for every skin type. Therabox makes sure to combine more indie brands with high-end products, and you can be sure you’re getting way more than you spend on each box. This box also focuses on general self-care versus athlete treatments specifically, but it’s great for a body-mind boost.

Therabox has four subscription options. A monthly plan starts at $40 per month, with discounts available for the quarterly, biannual, and annual plans. Shipping is not included.

If you’re a serious runner (or have one in your life), RunLocker offers the whole gamut when it comes to trying new things in the running world. Curated by runners to include everything you might need for the perfect personal record, you can expect a huge variety of running necessities, from fitness accessories and recovery aids to clothing, and more. Each shipment comes monthly, and includes running advice and support, along with some motivational cheer. 

Past shipments have included everything from resistance bands and beanies to vibrating foam rollers and protein bars. You’ll never run out of new products to try, and the company makes sure to combine well-known brands with less popular offerings for a complete snapshot of everything you might need to make your running dreams come true.

RunLocker offers four subscription plans: a monthly plan for $45 per month, a three-month plan for $130 (for a $5 savings), a six-month plan for $250 (a $20 savings), and an annual plan for $500 (for a $40 savings).
