If you love running outdoors and on the trails, you most likely love our planet, but you might also be aware that you’re perhaps not treading quite as lightly as you like. All those high-performing running tops and shoes that hold up to multiple washes and wick sweat away without getting soggy are often made using synthetic fabrics that are derived from plastics and never biodegrade. So can you keep your pace up without adding to the already overflowing landfills? If you shop smarter, you can definitely gear up for the elements and lessen your impact on the environment. Check out our top picks for eco-friendly running brands that are focusing on using recycled and natural materials and circular approaches to manufacturing to keep waste low, so you can run with a clear conscience.
