Humidity from hell, and each new lap hotter than the last. Welcome to long distance running in the subcontinent. We wanted a running short that's light, and swift drying over hours while having the right pocket design for stocking needs of distance running. Cue the Athlos Distance Running Shorts, our most technical shorts yet.

Peak Performance

Distance running shorts have been a design challenge over the years. A great pair of running shorts dries swiftly on the go, offers freedom of long strides, and tops it with max comfort. That's the shorts we wanted to build. The Recycled Nylon fabric feels fast owing to its swift drying fiber and the silky soft texture. The lightweight knit feels agile, and the 4-way stretch ensures you feel unrestricted even on your longest stride.

4-POCKET PERFECT

Runners have certain stocking needs for race days and long endurance runs. Gels, cash, keys, and the occasional cellphone. Relax, we have it covered. 2 unique side- pockets to store gels. One zippered back-pocket for keys and the 4th one on the liner - built to support your smartphones holding them tight against your body. And all of this comes minus any bounce or bulk.

What good is a running short without a good liner? The Distance shorts comes paired with a liner that provides support at right places while getting out of your way. It's next to nothing hand-feel and firm support makes you forget you are wearing anything, in a good way.

UNDERWEAR.
OR NO UNDERWEAR.

A common question that floats around in running circles is whether you should wear underwear under lined running shorts. The inbuilt liner plays the role of underwear perfectly and we strongly recommend not wearing any underwear under our distance running shorts.

Game-Changer for Long Distance Runners!

*5/5 Stars - A Game-Changer for Long Distance Runners!*

“I’ve tried numerous running shorts and T-shirts, but Athols takes the cake! Their T-shirt and running shorts combo is unparalleled. The shorts’ comfortable pocket arrangement is genius, keeping my essentials secure during long distance runs. The fabric is breathable, moisture-wicking, and provides a full range of motion with dedicated thoughtful mobile phone pocket

I’ve accumulated several Athols shorts in various colors - they’re that good! The quality, comfort, and performance are consistently top-notch and I always use for all my training run to all races ,

If you’re a serious runner, look no further. Athols has raised the bar. Highly recommended!”

Finest & Most comfortable distance running shorts

My colleague & dear friend Ingit had suggested me to go for the distance shorts & ever since I’ve got them I’m in absolutely awe of the quality & the fabric it’s made of. Been using the Athlos distance running shorts for almost 2 months now and I must’ve easily ran atleast 400kms wearing it. Notable thing is the comfort despite drenched in sweat, the inner liner is super comfortable & the pockets are easy to access despite being wet. I would highly recommend anyone who’s into intense cross training & long endurance runs to pick this pair of running shorts & enjoy cruising with every step & yet it makes you feel super easy & comfortable.
