REI Anniversary Sale Top Running Gear Deals (up to 25% off deals!)

Saucony Peregrine 15

$104.99 $140.00 (25% OFF)

The Peregrine 15 is one of Saucony’s best all-round trail shoe this season if you’re heading into rocky, mountainous terrain. It’s grippy, stable, and has just enough cushion without feeling disconnected.

I’d say it’s a softer, more affordable alternative to the Brooks Catamount 3 — and with 5mm lugs plus a flexible feel, it’s great for technical, mixed terrain. If you value control and durability without overspending, this one delivers. To learn more, read my full review.

30% Off All Brooks Bras

The Brooks Crossback is one of Helen’s top running bra picks, offering excellent support for the fastest road runs and the most uneven trail runs! With 30% off these bras in REI’s Anniversary sale, now’s a great time to stock up on these supportive boulder-holders.

REI Co-op Swiftland TT Hydration Vest

$90 $130 (30% OFF)

This is REI’s best trail running vest yet. The Swiftland TT Hydration Vest fits like a custom piece of gear, with soft stretch mesh, velcro side straps for a dialed-in fit, and a bounce-free front phone pocket that actually works.

You get dual soft flasks (included), pole attachments, and enough storage for long trail runs or race day. I’m using it alongside my Salomon vests—it’s that good. Read my full review, to learn more.
