Sustainability

Groundwork Knit is made using a premium grade nylon that has a significantly tighter woven filament than standard synthetics. Tighter filaments mean less microfiber shedding in the wash-cycle, plus greater durability of the garment (longer lifespan, more wearing).

Groundwork Knit fabric is also bluesign® certified meaning it is free from harmful chemicals and is fabricated in a way that meets a high environmental standard.

Favorite run shorts

These shorts are THE shorts. They don’t move once I put them on and they’ve got plenty of storage. The only tiny thing I would prefer is an infinity drawstring, but otherwise they are perfect.

Love these shorts!

These have easily become my favorite pair of shorts! I'd say they fit true to size if you like some compression on your runs. If not then I'd say size up.
I'm usually a medium and purchased size medium. I love how much compression these give me.
All the pockets are wonderful for marathon training as well!

Excellent shorts!

I love these shorts for running. They're the only pair I've tried that doesn't ride up or really budge at all during my runs. After wearing the first pair I bought a few times I purchased two more pairs. The material feels very comfortable and doesn't make me too warm.

Best shorts

Love these shorts! The pockets are amazing. My phone stays in place and the shorts don’t sag under its weight. Love the waistband, and they the perfect length for long runs, and for race day! No chafing here! Can’t wait to grab some more colors!

Super comfy

These shorts are amazing! They stay put while running, hold my phone without sagging and have pockets for all my stuff! I love the grippy texture on the leg openings that keep them from riding up.

Perfect for Marathons and long runs

I love these shorts. I like that the waist band has a tie so it’s adjustable. My thighs don’t chafe and my gels don’t bounce in the pockets. I’m using these for my marathon training long runs and plan on wearing these for my marathon.

Spectacular! Give me 14 of em right now

Never thought running shorts/leggings could feel like butter but here we are. The legs stay down with the grippies and the waist stays up and compressed. What’s not to love? Feels weightless on my booty.
