The Best Mama Running Accessories for 2025: Gear That Keeps Up With You

When you're a mom on the move, your run isn't just about mileage—it's about momentum, mental clarity, and sometimes just making it through the day with a bit of sweat and sanity. That means your accessories need to work as hard as you do.

Whether you’re pushing a stroller, squeezing in miles during naptime, or racing against the school bell, here are the best mama running accessories of 2025 to keep you comfortable, confident, and ready to roll.


1. Hands-Free Running Belt (with Kid-Friendly Storage)

Moms are pack mules by nature. A running belt that holds your phone, keys, wipes, snacks, and maybe even a tiny toy or two? Yes, please. Look for one with bounce-free design and water-resistant compartments.

Top Pick: FlipBelt Zipper Elite – sleek, soft, and actually stays put.


2. Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones

Because sometimes you want your playlist and to hear your kid calling from the stroller. Bone conduction headphones sit just outside your ears, giving you safety and sound.

Top Pick: Shokz OpenRun Pro – perfect for situational awareness without sacrificing your running playlist.


3. Monarch Movement Custom Zip-Up Jacket

The mama must-have: a lightweight, breathable zip-up with custom printing options. Whether you're repping your running crew or rocking a motivational message, this piece transitions from workout to errands like a pro.

Bonus: Monarch Movement zip-ups are available in inclusive sizing and can be customized with your own art, quotes, or team logos—because your strength is worth showing off.


4. High-Performance Stroller (Yes, It Matters)

If you’re running with a baby or toddler, your stroller needs to perform. Think smooth suspension, easy steering, and a secure harness.

Top Pick: BOB Gear Wayfinder Jogging Stroller – designed for all terrains and nap-friendly cruising.


5. Smartwatch That Tracks Everything (Even Recovery Time)

You don’t need to obsess over numbers, but a solid smartwatch can help you track your pace, mileage, heart rate, and even stress levels. Some even suggest recovery time—yes, please!

Top Pick: Garmin Forerunner 265S – sleek, packed with features, and sized perfectly for smaller wrists.


6. Custom Monarch Movement Cap or Visor

Sweat-wicking, sun-shielding, and style-boosting. Plus, you can customize it with embroidered or printed affirmations like "Strong Like a Mother" or "Running on Grit and Goldfish."

Why it works: Keeps hair back, sun out, and your mama message front and center.


7. Hydration Without the Hassle

For quick sips on the go, a handheld bottle or hydration vest can be a game-changer. Especially when you’re pushing a stroller or on a longer run.

Top Pick: Nathan SpeedView Flask with phone holder – smart, simple, and multi-functional.


8. Reflective Safety Gear (Because Moms Run at Odd Hours)

Whether it’s early morning or post-bedtime jogs, visibility matters. A reflective vest or clip-on lights help keep you seen and safe.

Top Pick: Noxgear Tracer2 – high visibility, lightweight, and rechargeable.


Bonus Monarch Movement Tie-In

Don’t forget: Monarch Movement Running offers custom printed and embroidered accessories that turn your miles into memories. Whether it's a race cap, team hoodie, or gear for your next mama retreat, you can personalize your look and make every run feel uniquely yours.

Bring your own artwork or choose from empowering designs that celebrate strength, motherhood, and movement. No minimums. All heart.


Final Thoughts

Running as a mom isn’t just about staying fit—it’s a form of self-care, connection, and power. The right accessories don’t just support your stride—they support your life.

So whether you’re training for a race or simply carving out time to breathe and move, let your gear do the heavy lifting.

Because mama, you were born to run—and we were born to run with you.
