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.

No Riding Up

I love these shorts. I got them in the cyanotype which is a gorgeous color and very unique. These shorts have the perfect amount of compression and the little grips keep the legs perfectly in place. No adjustments needed throughout my run! The pockets are very deep and fit my phone comfortably. It did get sweaty in there, but nbd. You could fit a water bottle, but it just looks bulky. I haven't utilized the back pocket yet, but seems great for keeping extra layers. So tempted to buy all the colors!

Pace short

My 3rd pair of Pace shorts. Use them for running, hiking mostly. Super comfortable, with just the right amount of compression, pockets are perfect for phone and snacks, and a wonderful color (green floral color).

Got stained

Pace shorts are my go to outdoor run shorts! Light, stay in place, no chafing, couldn’t ask for more. When this new one dropped I acted quick on getting more in a different color. These green ones. Right away I noticed they’re slightly different. Drawstring and the grips on the leg holes are more staggered than the usual strip of grip. Either way, still amazing. On my 3rd wear (after 2 washes) the green stained my skin! Around the waist and legs. It was a humid run but not the 1st one they’ve been exposed to. Showered and scrubbed twice but I’m still green. Luckily green is my husbands favorite color but not what I was expecting

Oh no, we're so sorry to hear that your shorts caused staining Adrienne! Our Customer Service team will be in touch. Glad you love the shorts otherwise.

I'm obsessed

This is my second pair of the 7" pace shorts with the dot grippers around the legs and I want more. They don't ride up at all and provide the perfect amount of compression. A bunch of women in my running circle have bought them and we are all equally obsessed. I also think they are super flattering on all body types! Lastly, I love the microfloral print and it doesn't show sweat at all.

Best running shorts ever

Super comfortable and cool— and I’ve never had shorts with pockets that could comfortably carry so much. My phone, soft water bottle and key .. and I still had room for the towel! Nothing jiggled around. The shorts never fell down , never rode up. Highly highly recommend

You Need These!

Absolutely love the upgrade this season with the grippy dots instead of one band around the thigh. The pockets are amazing too. These are my new go-to shorts on my runs.

Great versatility

The updated design of these makes them perfect summer running shorts, primarily due to the improved grip on the lower leg/thigh. The new grip dots are far more comfortable and flattering than the single strip on older versions of this short. I also love the multiple pockets and how deep they are. I have run with my keys in the pocket on their own and they were secure, though if I could add anything it would be a cord or band inside the pockets, otherwise I use a safety pin, but I don't love poking holes in the shorts.

I have worn them on long and short runs in extremely hot and humid conditions in the Arkansas summer and they've been very comfortable, staying in place and not requiring adjustments at the waist. I also find they have just enough compression so I feel secure and can avoid a lot of chafing. I have even gone straight from a run to yoga without changing and they performed well for that purpose too.

I am 5' 4", 135-140#, and the medium fits perfectly. I will definitely be buying another pair next summer when additional color ways are available.

Best running shorts

I’ve never liked any running shorts like these. They stay put and don’t rub. They are super light weight too. You won’t be disappointed.
