Happy Wednesday!​ ​ Here's what I have for you today:
If your holiday shopping list is full of runners and you’re running out of ideas, this year’s editor-tested gift guide has you covered. From clever stocking stuffers to big-ticket surprises, these are the picks our team actually uses. ​
WATCH: At The Running Event, we got a sneak peek at all the forthcoming running watches coming out from Garmin, Coros, Amazfit and newer GPS player Amazfit. ​
Breaking a historic barrier used to earn bragging rights. Now it might earn a paycheck. A new NIL program is putting $40,000 on the line for the fastest high school milers in the country.​ ​
Most runners don’t plan to run in the dark, it just happens. Winter mornings, busy days, tight schedules. The problem is that many people treat those runs exactly the same as daytime ones. That’s where mistakes creep in.
When Grand Slam Track collapsed into bankruptcy, it finally put numbers to the question athletes had been asking quietly for months: how much money was never paid? Court filings now make that answer public, and it’s bigger than most expected. ​

Trying to shop for a runner during the Christmas rush?

It’s legal, it’s bold, and it signals just how fast the economics of youth running are changing.
For many runners, darkness isn’t a choice, it’s just part of the schedule.
Early alarms, late workdays, winter months that swallow daylight whole. The miles still need to get done.
But running in the dark changes the risk equation in ways people often underestimate. Visibility, footing, traffic, and situational awareness all matter more when the sun’s gone.
These ten practical safety tips are about stacking small advantages so your run stays routine, not risky.
