Labor Day isn’t just a long weekend—it’s one of the best times to grab running gear at a discount. Whether you’re training for a fall marathon, hitting the trails, or refreshing your workout wardrobe, the sales this year are worth checking out.
Top brands like Saucony, Athleta, and Garmin are offering serious savings. Here’s a closer look at the deals you won’t want to miss.
Saucony Running Shoes: Comfort and Performance
Saucony continues to deliver reliable, high-performance running shoes. This Labor Day, you’ll find up to 50% off select models. The Endorphin Speed 5 is a favorite for speed workouts. The Triumph 22 provides cushioned comfort for long miles.
These deals make it easier to grab a pair for daily training or to save a fresh pair for race day. Inventory moves quickly, so sizes may be limited.
Athleta Activewear: Lightweight and Functional
Athleta is offering up to 60% off on performance gear. Think lightweight shorts, seamless tanks, and breathable leggings built for comfort and movement. Favorites include the Mesh Racer Run Shorts and the Seamless Performance Tank.
What I love about Athleta is versatility. The pieces transition from running to strength training to casual wear. This sale is an easy way to upgrade your activewear without overspending.
Garmin GPS Watches: Track Your Progress
If you’ve been eyeing a GPS watch, now is the time. Garmin has markdowns on several models. The Forerunner 55 offers simple, accurate tracking—perfect for new runners. The Forerunner 955 (read my full review here) is packed with advanced features like GPS mapping, training load insights, and heart-rate monitoring.
Prices range from $169 to $499. A solid investment if you’re looking to level up your training and track progress through the fall.
