A while back I wrote about the chafing I was getting from running skirts during long runs. After posting the article, Skirt Sports reached out to me to try their skirts to see if they could help me with the chafing issue.

I received a Gym Girl Ultra Skirt and one of the Marathon Chick skirts. For those of you who have not checked out Skirt Sports yet, they have an UNBELIEVABLE selection of colors and prints for skirts. The Gym Girl Ultra skirt is a beautiful turquoise color and I chose pink for the Marathon Chick skirt.
I have worn both running skirts numerous times now and I love them! The Gym Girl Ultra is great if you like a little more length to your skirt and you prefer the compression shorts underneath. Plus, it has a pocket on the right side of the shorts that can hold an iPhone! I went running the other day and loved the fact that I could stash my phone there and it stayed put and was comfortable for the entire run.
I also love that Skirt Sports was started by a fellow mother runner and triathlete, Nicole DeBoom. She believes that if you look good, you feel good, and your training and performance follows! I think she is spot on.
Skirt Sports offers new specials every Monday, so check out their Facebook page and sign up to be on the mailing list (and find out where you can by Skirt Sports skirts locally) to get updates on the latest sales. Sometimes you can snag a skirt for up to 50% off!!
Skirt Sports provided 30 Something Mother Runner with two skirts. I was not obligated to write this review, but I chose to do so because I LOVE them!
I generally do like the compression shorts (as long as they don’t ride up!) but not all of my skirts have them. I think my favorite skirt s my Brooks one, but I will check these out.
I love the gym girl skirts! I have 3 of them now and they are my favorite running gear.
I am a huge fan of the marathon chick skirts. Spankies rock! I am waiting for Lulu to make a skirt with the spankies. The shorts drive me nuts – too much going on down there. My inner thighs are just not happy with the shorts.
I got my first Skirt Sports skirt before Zooma Texas in March and I LOVE it!!! Fits perfectly and stays in place.
I LOVE skirtsports! I have at least 5 gym girl ultras. It is the only bottom that I found that can hold my iPhone! They rock! Have not tried the marathon chick yet, but might after your review 🙂
You should Stef! It’s the first time I ever tried one with the spanks–but I LOVE it!
I am brand-loyal to Skirt Sports. I love the feel and the look of their skirts. I have never found any other brands that wear as well. As for the sales, they’re amazing, sometimes being as much as 70% off! I’ve bought some skirts for around $30.
where can I find the sale items??? would love to try the “happy girl” skirt… i’m a bit more hippy and think the longer inseam would work better:)
I love Skirt Sports, they are definitely my fave running skirts 🙂 My personal first choice when I’m going for a run is the Happy Hour, because it’s a bit longer, which I love. I actually also love their cycling skirts – my Breezer skirts work for running and cycling.
Skirt Sports skirts are great aren’t they? It was actually the first skirt I ran in and even though it’s old and manky now I still like it. I should probably go check them out, they have so many new products since I bought my last one!
