The Best Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for Runners

Bib & Medal Displays
The perfect gift for runners! These medal and bib displays will give your runner mom a place to show off all of her bling from those races. She can keep her race bibs in the display as well, providing a really convenient place to store all those memories. If your mom has put in the work to complete one race or many, give her a place to show off her medals. Here are a few of my favorites!
Bib Folio
If your mom already has a space for her bling, this Bib Folio is a great idea. This will give her a place to store those bibs that she doesn’t want to throw away, but still doesn’t know what to do with. I love these Bib Folios because they are a simple way to keep your bibs easily accessible, while keeping them organized and looking cute. These make a useful, surprising Mother’s Day running gift for anyone.
The RunnerBox
Whether you’re wanting to send an one-time surprise, or a gift that keeps on giving each month – The RunnerBox is perfect for runners of every ability and fitness level. Each box contains carefully and purposefully selected items designed to help runners fuel and stay motivated.

If you’re gifting a box on Mother’s Day, your mother runner will receive a box packed full of running gear and endurance nutrition that will keep her excited and motivated to train. Examples of items from the current box:
- Ultima Replenisher
- AMG Snacks Energy Bites
- Chargel Gel
- Verb Caffeinated Bars
- GFB Pop Up Oatmeal Bowl
- Honey Stinger Chews
- Barebells Protein Bar
- Klean Freak Body Wipes
- Sweat Athletix Laundry Sheets
RunnerBox has something for everyone — send a one-time gift box for $38, or gift a subscription of monthly boxes, starting at $36 per box. Running gift boxes are an awesome way to stay motivated through every training season, and perfect for beginners to advanced runners alike.
Running Jewelry
All women love jewelry, and no doubt your mother runner does too. Finding her a unique piece of jewelry like the ones below will help her celebrate her hobby. These earrings, necklaces, and bracelets are a great way to show off her hobby in style.
Running Journal
Most runners love writing in a training journal, and this cute journal will be just what your runner mom needs to do so. Give her a space to record her miles and everything that comes with them. This running journal will keep her inspired and motivated to improve. Celebrate her with this thoughtful Mother’s Day running gift.
Running Cookbook
If your running mom loves to cook, then these two cookbooks couldn’t be more perfect for her. There’s nothing she’ll love more than combining two things she loves! Both of these cookbooks are filled with delicious healthy recipes for runners. These meals will keep her fueled and strong to continue logging all those miles.
Running Mugs
If your mom is anything like mine, she loves her coffee. This coffee mug and tumbler will keep her coffee warm while representing her hobby. Coffee is a necessity before those long runs, so help her drink her coffee in style and stay motivated while doing so.
Recovery Shoes
These shoes are a gift your runner mom may not even know she needs – until she tries them. If your mom has a race coming up or is training for long distances, these shoes will offer her the perfect amount of comfort for recovery after all those miles. These are easy to slip on after a race, or at home and outside when the weather is warm. This is an incredibly useful Mother’s Day gift for runners.
Mantra Socks
All runners need plenty of socks, and there’s no better Mother’s Day message than the ones printed on these. Inspire your runner mom to continue logging miles with these cute socks with motivational messages. Remind her how much she inspires you with these fun socks.
Running Shirts
There are so many to choose from, but these are some of my favorites! Give your mom a Mother’s Day gift that is unique to her and her personality. There are so many different fun sayings on these shirts. Celebrate her half marathon or marathon accomplishments, her love of coffee, craziness, or anything in between. There is a perfect shirt for every running mom!
As you can see, the Mother’s Day gift ideas for runners are endless! Get creative this year and really surprise your running mom. Taking the time to find the perfect gift for your mom will definitely pay off on Mother’s Day.
Surprising someone you love with a unique and fun gift really shows them how much you care about them. I can think of no one better deserving than a mother to receive a heartfelt, thoughtful gift.
