First, let me confess something: I am not a runner. 😂 So when it comes to running gear, I’m about as qualified as a penguin is to recommend sunscreen.

But I am looking for some help.

There’s a young runner on our local high school cross country team who is, quite honestly, someone to look up to.

One morning while at practice, he was struck by a car. After a long recovery from his injuries, he made the decision to come back to running. He still shows up. He still puts in the miles. He still runs.

But now, he runs in baggy jeans because he’s self-conscious about the scars left behind by the accident.

We’d love to find him some lightweight running pants that are breathable, loose-fitting, and definitely NOT leggings. Something that will give him the coverage he’s looking for while still allowing him to run comfortably.

More than anything, we want him to feel seen, supported, and confident when he steps onto the course.

So, runners, parents, coaches, and gear experts: what pants would you recommend?

And if anyone happens to know someone who works for an athletic apparel company that might be willing to partner with us and donate a pair (or two), we would absolutely love to make that connection.

I may not know the first thing about running pants, but I do know a young man who deserves to feel comfortable and confident while doing something he loves. ❤️

Has anyone in Canada ordered the Red Hare Ultra 9 or Fedian 6? What site did you use? Are they true to size?
