Spring marathon training has begun, as has the buildup to Boston. The Boston Marathon is set for Monday, April 20th, 2026. As Patriot\u2019s Day approaches runners are easing out of their winter break and beginning to hit double digit long runs. Thankfully, Chicago seems to be turning a corner with weather, as we look ahead to spring like temperatures this coming weekend.<\/p>\n
Chicago runners are already fans of rabbit running, as one of the largest independent running specialty apparel brands in the world. Rabbit continuously produces fantastic running apparel that performs at a top level, and equally as important, looks incredible. This brand was formed by two women in 2013 who sought to make a running apparel line that fit, feel, and look amazing. \u201cThey quickly turned a simple quest for better shorts into rabbit: not just a line of premium running apparel, but a community of dreamers. With those dreamers they built a brand that celebrates all runners\u2019 goals and unique relationships to the sport.\u201d \u2013 rabbit website<\/p>\n
\u201cIt goes back to why we started the brand,\u201d says Monica. \u201cIt\u2019s even in the name. A rabbit is a race pacesetter: someone who champions the competitors by leading them through splits and pushing the pace \u2013 quietly stepping out before the finish line, they do it for the love of running and supporting the goals of others.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Rabbit running has captured the essence of the Boston Marathon in its 2026 Boston Marathon race kit.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The Go Time<\/a>, technical tank is rabbit\u2019s new high performance singlet which provides a more flattering fit with side slits at the hips, plus a refreshed perf pattern to improve ventilation. The ultralight fabric with bonded seams for maximum comfort with minimal weight is streamlined for speed.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n My favorite piece in this kit is the Crusher Pocket Crop<\/a>, which literally has it all, including a laser-cut back pocket to quickly stash and grab your phone. This ultra-cute crop is built for speed and endurance, built to minimize interruptions so you can focus on the path ahead. The crop is designed for A\/B-B\/C cups with removable cookies.<\/p>\n The Fuel n\u2019 Fly 4\u2033 | Boston shorts go the distance with innovative design starting from the inside out. These versatile shorts pack a peppermint kick and all long run necessities. Five next-level pockets, including a back zip that fits most phones, are built into the liner to reduce bounce. The half-split style, smooth hems, and laser-cut perfs mean every race feels free and cool.<\/p>\n Stay incredibly dry with a brief liner made from Polartec\u00ae Power Dry\u00ae with Fresh Face\u2122 technology. The impressive moisture-wicking fabric features a peppermint-based anti-odor treatment. The bluesign\u00ae certified peppermint oil is easily renewable, highly sustainable, and biodegradable.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.mychicagoathlete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot_12-2-2026_115759_www.runinrabbit.com_-232x300.jpeg\")
