It’s race season! Here’s 8 running shoes I recommend, whether you’re running 5ks or marathons — and they’re all on sale at Amazon

It’s officially race season. April tends to be a month full of marathons all around the world, and whether you’re looking for a shoe to take you over the finish line or you’ve been inspired to begin you’re running journey, we’ve got you covered.

Right now, the Amazon Spring Sale means there’s discounts on tons of leading running shoes for women and men, and I’m here to help you choose.

If you’re a beginner, I’ll make it easy for you: get the Adidas Duramo SL 2.0. It’s affordable — and especially now it’s discounted down to just $55 — and its chunky size makes it nice and comfortable. It’s ideal for regular shorter distances as you build up your fitness. More advanced runners who also happen to be looking for an all-round shoe should opt for the Saucony Ride series, my personal choice and a great daily driver.

If you’re looking to run long distances during training, it’s hard to fault the ASICS Gel-Nimbus series. I used the Gel-Nimbus 26 to run the London Marathon in 2024, and its sequel the Gel-Nimbus 27 has been reduced from $165 down to just $124.95. Finally, for those looking for race-day speed, the Brooks Hyperion Max 2 will take you over the line fast, while staying wallet-friendly with a $70 discount.

Remember, these deals won’t hang around — Amazon’s Spring Sale ends today.
