It's true that the only thing you really need to run is a good pair of shoes...but running with good gear is awfully nice.

At New England Running Company we stock a wide variety of running accessories. A properly-fitting hydration pack or the right pair of socks can make a huge difference in performance and comfort. This time of year, we have an excellent selection of summer caps and visors to keep the sun off your head and the sweat out of your eyes, including a number of women specific models.  For additional sun protection, we carry BodyGlide with SPF protection.

While you're here, don't forget that other extremity, your feet. Cradle your feet in a technical sock and you'll never go back to cotton! We offer moisture-wicking socks in a range of weights and fabrics, including several light and mesh models for summer.

With the longer days and longer runs that the nice weather usually signals, hydration becomes even more important.  We stock hydration solutions by Fuelbelt, Ultimate Direction, Camelback, and Amphipod.  Whether you prefer a handheld, a full hydration bladder, or a belt solution, we’re confident that we have a hydration system that will work for you. Too much water without enough electrolytes can get you in trouble; we carry a number of sports drink powders, including GU2O, Powerbar Endurance, and Ultima, as well as energy gels by GU, Powergel, and CarbBoom.

We have an excellent selection of watches, from the trusty Timex Ironman to mini-computers that can spit out any peice of data you've every wondered about. We also carry time/distance solutions that use both GPS and accelerometer technologies, and have the full range of Nike and Polar heart rate monitors.
