The best Christmas gym and running leggings for a festive workout
Christmas has come early!
Whether you're looking for a new pair of winter leggings for those Boxing Day miles, want to add some festive flair to your gym kit wardrobe, or simply want to stand out at parkrun on Christmas Eve (or even Christmas Day), we've rounded up some of the best Christmas gym and running leggings that promise to bring the festive cheer. Pair with your finest Santa hat, Christmas jumper, tinsel and baubles for a run (or jog, walk or gym session) – and be back home before the Turkey's even in the oven.
Cut from a high-performance, moisture-wicking, stretchy fabric, these bright red Gymshark leggings are perfect if you've signed up for a Santa run this Christmas. Just pair with a Father Christmas bobble hat, and you're all set.
When the temperate drops below freezing these iconic festive leggings – ideal for gym sessions, frosty bootcamp in the park or even mince pie baking – are all you'll want to wear (even on your gym days off).
Bring a touch of Christmas to your workouts with these cropped leggings featuring graduated multicolour stars. Sitting high on the waist, the sculpting silhouette is made from ECONYL® Regenerated Nylon, making it a smart choice for your next workout – and, importantly, for the planet.
Looking for festive gym kit? Or, for something fun to wear to parkrun on Christmas day? Either way, Tikiboo is here to lend a hand with these whacky Christmas lights leggings. They're cut to a high rise and feature a handy zip pocket on the rear of the waistband to fit a large phone.
If your aim is to stand out at the Christmas day parkrun, then these jolly leggings, featuring squat-proof Santas, are the festive leggings you need. Not to mention, you can customise and choose from side pockets and a rear zip or no side pockets and just a rear zip.
At RW, we're huge fans of Sweaty Betty's Power Workout 7/8 leggings – especially for cross-training sessions in the gym. These feature a Christmassy sparkle print and are spun from stretchy, moisture-wicking jersey.
Red? Tick. Sparkly? Tick. High waisted? Tick. These moisture-absorbing, shiny leggings from adidas by Stella McCartney bring all the festive glam.
