RUNNING EQUIPMENT AT SPORT CONRAD


As a mountain sports retailer, we not only offer running shoes and apparel for trail running, but also running equipment for road running. By now, the selection of trail running shoes is so extensive that it surpasses road running shoes in our range. The most well-known brands are also represented in our running apparel selection. Here you'll find everything you need for your favorite sport. But that’s not all! We also offer running backpacks, running poles, sports watches, sunglasses, and headlamps in our selection!

The right clothing for every type of activity!


The running shirt: A key factor for comfort and performance while jogging


Almost all functional tops or first layers like a functional shirt or a long sleeve are made from synthetic materials, as these can transport sweat more quickly than natural fabrics (check out our material guide). If you still prefer natural textiles, you should go for a lightweight merino shirt. Keep in mind: The thinner the merino fabric, the less sweat it can absorb. A running shirt should always be the first layer next to your skin. Most of the time, you won’t need anything over it while running – unless it gets really cold during transitional seasons or you want to run in winter. In that case, we recommend an additional midlayer. It’s a bit thicker than a functional shirt, but still keeps you warm and remains breathable. If it’s windy or rainy, take a wind jacket or a rain jacket with you. Usually, a windbreaker is enough for running, as it is more breathable than a rain jacket. Plus, windbreakers are super light and can be packed down small to fit in your pocket or attach to your backpack/belt. 


The running pants: An essential piece for mobility and comfort in your running gear 


Your running pants should provide good freedom of movement for hours and must not chafe or cause discomfort anywhere. That’s why there are different types: there are running shorts with and without inner liners. The inner liner often offers a compression effect and promotes better blood circulation. If you prefer a looser fit, go for running pants without an inner short. It's similar with long running pants: you’ll find loose and breathable running pants meant for home workouts or gym training. But there are also tight-fitting running tights. Whether your running pants should be long or short depends on how sensitive you are to cold.






Colorful variety for your feet


A good pair of running socks is an essential part of every runner’s gear. Running socks are an important part of your equipment. They complement your running shoes and are meant to make running more comfortable for you. In addition, they play a key role in preventing blisters and promoting a healthy foot climate inside your running shoes. Running socks should extend at least above the ankle to prevent slipping. For demanding trail runs, we recommend mid- or high-cut compression socks. A good pair of compression socks can even help improve your performance, prevent discomfort, and speed up your recovery.

What else you need for running clothing

Arm and leg warmers are designed for those who want to avoid the hassle of changing quickly when the weather changes. They can be easily tucked into your pants or jacket pocket and put on during the run depending on the cold. For the right support and comfort while running, there are various sports bras for women. Before buying, make sure to check the support rating of the sports bra. During the colder months, it’s advisable to have a pair of running gloves with you. The right headgear is a must-have for running in hot temperatures. In the summer, you can choose between two types of caps: closed or open at the top. If you have long hair, it’s better to choose a cap with an opening. The same principle applies to colder temperatures: for people with long hair, a headband, and for people with short hair, a functional, closed cap. Find out the best way to dress for cold temperatures here.

What you should consider when buying your running shoes


Running shoes can generally be distinguished by their intended use, whether you prefer running on the road or on trails. Trail running has become an absolute craze in recent years. That’s why we’ve expanded our range of trail running shoes and road shoes. No matter your running style, whether you’re a beginner or a pro, have wide or narrow feet, everyone can find their perfect model with us. If you can’t take advantage of our in-store service, you can find the right running shoe online using our Running Shoe Configurator.



Common trail running shoes provide good grip on all surfaces and, depending on your needs, excellent cushioning. Some models are also equipped with a Gore-Tex membrane, making the shoe waterproof and versatile. The concept is gaining traction: the comfort of a road running shoe, breathable upper material, and the tread pattern of a hiking boot. However, caution is advised if you're inexperienced in alpine terrain, as they don’t provide the stability of hiking boots. Be sure to check out our blog post on trail running shoes.



For road running shoes, two factors are key: cushioning and stability. A waterproof option can also be available for every jogger. Unlike trail shoes, some road running shoes feature a pronation support to prevent your feet from excessively rolling inward while running. Whether you need such a support can be determined with assistance from our trained specialists. They can also offer tips and tricks to help you find the right running shoe for problem feet. Or, find it out for yourself with a gait analysis at one of our stores in Garmisch-Partenkirchen or Wielenbach. In addition, we offer insoles specifically for running, which can alleviate foot problems. The choice of shoes is crucial, because no matter the surface you run on, the right running shoe will bring you the most joy over time.



So take the time to find the right running shoe for your individual needs – your body will thank you. Whether trail or road, comfort and fit should always come first. With the right model, you’ll run not only healthier but also more motivated. And remember: The perfect running shoe is the one that feels like it was made for you.



Running backpacks and other running equipment

Running backpacks are becoming increasingly popular among runners. These backpacks offer everything you need and are the lightest all-rounders among sports backpacks. They fit closely to the body to prevent unnecessary and annoying slipping while jogging. On the usual carrying straps of the backpack, soft flasks for drinking can be placed on the front, so you don't have to stop to drink. In addition to other small pockets for phone, snacks, and other small items, there is an elastic closure on the straps that can tighten the backpack around the chest. On the back, depending on the model and brand, there are different sized compartments. The main compartment has space for a jacket, midlayer, arm sleeves, leg sleeves, change of clothes, and supplies. However, you need to know how much you want to carry. This is crucial for choosing the right backpack volume. Many models also fit a large hydration bladder with 1.5-2 liters capacity on the back. On the outside of the backpack, there should be space for trekking poles, though each brand has its own approach. Despite their body-hugging fit, all backpacks are breathable and can be used anywhere.


Trekking poles are the best companions for demanding trails with a lot of elevation. Unlike regular hiking poles, they are ultra-light and usually foldable or adjustable in length. Adjustable telescoping poles can be set to the desired length. This way, the poles can be used by several people of different sizes and adapted to the terrain. Non-adjustable trail running poles are available in a fixed length and are therefore slightly lighter. You have the right size when your arms are at a right angle to your body. Let our staff in the store advise you on the best pole length for you. If you want to know more about trail running poles, click here.


A running watch or heart rate monitor is the perfect support for your runs. In addition to distance and lap data, many useful displays are shown on the watch. There are countless function options on modern sport watches. And the best part: they work for any sport, and you can record your training data there. Many sport watches can also connect to your smartphone, so the watch transfers all data to your phone when you're on the go. Click here to learn more about running and heart rate monitors.
