perfect easter baskets for runners

April 13, 2022      13 Comments

Are Easter baskets for runners a tradition yet? I’m a holiday person and I love gifts (both giving and receiving), so I am all for normalizing visits from the Running Easter Bunny! What would go in my perfect Easter basket?

Start With The Basics

We start with a reusable container. This seagrass basket is jus the right size to handle a few goodies, and will come in handy for storing running accessories after the day is over.

All good Easter baskets require a chocolate bunny. This year, I went for the Reese’s Peanut Butter version, because… well, because they are delicious. I have a hard time committing to the full rabbit, but I think, with it’s PB center, I should be able to enjoy this.

Electrolyte Tablets

Tubes of electrolyte tablets or drink mixes fit perfectly into the runner’s Easter basket. They are compact and priced right, but also a super necessary addition for your athlete’s fuel stash. Pick some fun flavors to brighten the day! Nuun is my preferred electrolyte but there are plenty of options out there.

It’s Time For New Fuel

Instead of (or even in addition to) candy, runners might prefer some new fuel in their Easter basket. If you know what they prefer to take for energy on their runs, even better. My perfect Easter basket would be loaded with HoneyStinger deliciousness.

Sunnies For Everyone!

New Goodr sunnies are always a great addition to any gift. They are reasonably priced, and come in so many colors and designs. If you know, you know. Go for one of the OG models, or spice things up with something a little more unique.

Sock It To Me

Runners love socks, so feel free to load them up with their favorite in fun colors and a variety of styles. These pretty pastels from Balega are basket-ready and will surely be a hit on Easter morning!

Give The Gift Of Motivation

Bracelets and wraps from Momentum Jewelry are a great way for the Easter bunny to give a little sparkle. These pieces of bling come in a variety of styles for every taste and are sure to be a huge hit on Easter morning! These adjustable surf-style bracelets are super cute, but the mantra wraps are fantastic, too. Save on your next purchase with code SHAREIT15!

Other Ideas

The possibility are truly endless for your favorite runner! Want to add to the list? Try the following:

  • gift card to your local running store
  • new outfit
  • new fuel belt
  • entry to an upcoming race
  • running lights
  • a RoadID gift card or ID (save 25% here – discount automatically applied)
  • compression socks or sleeves
  • hat or headband

No matter what you choose for that Easter basket, your favorite runner is going to love it!

    These are great ideas, Jenn!
    I think what I would wish for would be a voucher for a massage. I rarely treat myself to one so I would definitely enjoy that.

      Not to jinx it, but I’ve never had a blister with my Balegas… Even on the wet and soggy days.

    Wait, I want the Running Easter Bunny to come to my house! I would LOVE to get an Easter basket like this! I’ll take all this gear, except I would sub Hammer espresso gels for the honey stinger waffles. Oh, and the Easter bunny could bring me a new Garmin- that would be great.

    I know what’s in mine because I asked the bunny. Well sort of, I forgot my York Peppermint Patty bunny in Florida so it’s hopping back to NY. And then the Bunny was in 5 Below and found the Jillian Michaels bands I love so…
    Santa Claus bought me Balega. I’m a very good girl apparently

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
