You may have noticed that I missed a newsletter last month. I hope you can forgive me. Fall is our busiest season – as I know it is for many of you, too. With three major marathons (four if you count Sydney kicking things off at the very end of August), our biggest collection releases, the Holiday rush – plus chasing two kids around the cross country course and soccer field – this time of year often feels like the end of a marathon.
With Thanksgiving behind us and the first snow on the ground, winter has officially arrived. In New England, that means slush puddles, messy sidewalks and chilled-to-the-bone running conditions. It’s what inspired our first No Days Off collection 10 years ago. This year, we have a head-to-toe offering to keep you running through the nastiest conditions. |

ELIOT NDO
Our new, winterized Eliot marries the best of the Runner and Range with a weatherproof upper, Merino wool liner and Vibram® XS Trek Evo outsole. |
|
NDO ANORAK
We reimagined the winter running jacket from the inside out, starting with a Merino-lined, weatherproof softshell. An adjustable hood, kangaroo pocket and 360-degree reflectivity round out the blizzard-ready features. |

NDO TIGHTS
Hardy cold-weather running tights are a necessity when temperatures dip below freezing. These tights are cut from a super technical double-knit Merino wool blend with windblocking overlays and lots of pockets. |

Founder's Gift Guide
I like to think I’m a good gift-giver. At the very least, I know what runners like. Here are a few ideas to finish off your shopping: |

THE BEST BASELAYER
The Brighton Baselayer remains my go-to Tracksmith gift, year in and year out. For serious runners, it’s a winter workhorse. For everyone else, it’s a super versatile layer. There’s a reason it’s our top product this time of year.

A MATCHING SET
Our Downeaster Crew (or trending Quarter Zip) and Pants are our take on the matching set, just taken up a few notches. The top does double-duty as an essential winter midlayer, while also pairing perfectly with the pants for lounging around by the fire.

WINTER SHADES
Sunglasses are the accessory every runner needs, but doesn’t want to buy. That’s what makes them a perfect gift (that, and the fact that you don’t need to worry about the size). The Charles’s elevated look and inherent versatility make it a favorite. And we’ve got a new color of the performance-forward Kazu Tourer landing this month.

A GOOD BOOK
My kids might roll their eyes, but I love to give books as presents. This year, Stephanie Reents’s We Loved to Run and Nick Thompson’s The Running Ground are going in a few stockings. |

MEET THE RYDER
I was down in San Antonio this week at The Running Event, where we introduced our latest addition to the Eliot family. Meet the Ryder, a max cushion trainer that flips the typical high volume look on its head. I’ve loved wear testing this shoe - especially on days when my legs are feeling fatigued after a hard workout or race. Click below to learn more and sign up for early access - coming Spring 2026.
