Let’s talk race/training nutrition. There are sooOOOoooOOOooo many options out there, it can make your head spin. Gels, chews, bars, it certainly can be overwhelming. I personally tend to stick with “what I know”, and am hesitant to try anything new. No one loves angry runner GI pain. Except, there are new products coming out daily. What if I’m missing something even better (and tastier) than what I’m currently taking?
Enter this fun little product: StrideBox
Stridebox is a monthly subscription, just like a magazine, except you get to eat it. Sort of. StrideBox partners with products geared towards runners and endurance athletes to provide subscribers with a variety of new products to try.
Perfect for those of us who want to try new stuff, but don’t like making those decisions on our own, haha.
How StrideBox works (according to StrideBox):
- As a StrideBox member, each month you’ll receive a curated box full of 6-8 performance products ranging from performance apparel, to nutrition products, and other accessories for runners and other endurance athletes.
- Each StrideBox will contain an assortment of sample and full size products from a variety of companies and brands with each monthly box containing different items.
- The box will contain products including, but not limited to: nutritional bars, gels, drinks, snacks, apparel, gadgets, skincare, health, apps and music, as well as other accessories.
- Your box will be shipped directly to your door via United States Postal Service on or before the 10th of each month.
- A StrideBox subscription is $15/month, and will continue until you suspend or cancel your order.
- Shipping on StrideBox is FREE to the United States. Shipping/handling to Canada is $5.

WHAT I THINK:
When my first StrideBox arrived, like a kid on Christmas morning, I could not wait to dive in.
I was 98% stoked with what I found inside (and have devoured just about all of it already).
Gear included was a really cool Stride Box 16 oz “Bend-A-Bottle” on a carabiner, a pair of Lock Laces, a sample of Doctor Hoy’s natural pain relief gel, and three “On the Go” Towels for Men.
Mandatory: James would like to know what product (specific brand or general idea) YOU would like to see in StrideBox. Leave a comment on this post, and let him know!

I love this idea. The “girl” in me is a big fan of Birchbox and this is athlete’s version.
meghan says
I’d like to see post run stuff such as pain reliever rubs/muscle soreness products and anti chaff products. thanks!
Medieval Needle says
I’d love to see products geared toward those with specific allergies (gluten, food coloring, nuts, dairy, etc.) – I’m allergic to the strangest things and therefore try to go with the least offensive and most bland products I can find.
GAsparta019 says
Great idea. Smart wool products would be a great item to let runners try.
abbi says
Skincare products like sunscreen or a product that helps with watery eyes (something I have terrible problems with when running!).
Courtney says
Really a fun idea! It would e great to see some log run snacks as well as some pretty running goodies. (think hair bands or sweat proof makeup).
Dave says
I’m a big fan of the Honey Stinger Waffles. I haven’t found a gel I like yet. Definitely curious about other mid-run options.
Ann says
Something that fits a natural more clean eating plan
Beth says
I am fairly new to running, but would like to see some items for cold weather running…gloves, headbands etc

Stride Box sounds Awesome!
debbie @ healthy running mom says
Love to try new products, so any new products on the market would be great!

I’m so excited to hear about this box… I may have to postpone my birchbox to try this out!

Sylvia @ Frolic Through Life says
I’m very picky when it comes to running socks, so I’d love a new pair of socks to try out.
Eileen Monyahan says
This sounds wonderful! There are so many things I hear about from otehr runners, but can’t find on my small town and don’t want to order large quanities online to “test” something. Would love to try Honey Stinger Waffles or S Caps 🙂 As far as accesroires? Anything pink motivates me 🙂
Emily Barnes says
What an awesome idea! I’m super cheap, so I hate to buy a new product and then hate it (which is why I use jelly beans and have worn the same shoes for years) so it would be awesome to be able to try new stuff without breaking the bank!
Courtney says
Love this idea! I hope I win 😉
Emmalee says
I love Gu and Shot Blocks!
Danielle @ itsaharleyyylife says
I would love to see some more gu or snacks you can eat for long runs!

What a great monthly subscription! I’d love to see some honey stingers.
Stephanie Perlberg says
I would love one of these boxes!!!!
Robyn says
Interesting idea. Did it seem like $15 worth of stuff? Looks like it.
I would vote for including some of the small producer “natural” energy bars like Picky Bars, which I can’t find locally.

The concept of Stridebox is really cool. I love Gu products and Clif products so those would be nice to see in a Stridebox. I’ve been wanting to try Stinger products….

SportyMomme says
I’d love to see a recovery product, and also I was thinking it may be a cool idea for a non-peanut box, for those allergic or simply do not like peanuts… I love peanuts but I’m thinking of others…lol
Maybe pair up with RoadID or something like that, offer coupons to products either for a free one or large discount?
Reflective gear? LED arm bands?
The Unlikely Runner says
I would like to see more varieties of bars such as vegan or gluten free bars, as well as maybe protein powders.

Anne says
I would like fun socks and shoe laces, something to brighten my boring black tights.

I love the idea of female vs. male specific boxes. Then you could include gender specific items like headbands.

Sounds like a great way to sample products. I’ve tried the Honey Stinger Waffles, but would love to try gels or chews from the same company.
Anonymous says

I would like to see a sample of a sweat-resistant sunscreen that is non-greasy in the box. That or some kind of wipes when you need a quick wipe-down for after a race.
Lisa says
I’d like to see some “fun” running related stuff, but it might be hard to find something that would work for a wide audience. I’m thinking of things like running charms, car magnets…
Debsdailylife says
Hair bands, sharkies, discounts to active.com
Dani says
I love the variety of gear and nutrition. Please keep a good amount of each component in the boxes.

This looks super dangerous because I would really enjoy it.
Hilary Schafer says
I definitely agree that these should be gendered if possible!! I would really love to see little things like gloves or socks in the boxes! I’m also a huge fan of the energy shots for my long runs and I would be interested in trying different kinds or perhaps different ways to get that energy during a run!! I think this is a wonderful idea and I can’t wait to sign up!!
Kristin says
Love this idea! I’d love to see different fueling options, I like trying out different gels/chews/etc!
Runner Leana says
This is awesome! I’m so excited to see that they will ship to Canada! What would I like to see in the box? Chapstick, lotions or nutrition products would be great to try or something to help with visibility at night time.
Megan says
I would love to see anything out of the norm. I love Gu and Clif, but they’re “mainstream.” I would love to see any new and upcoming companies!
Erik Running Moose says
I would love to see Clif Gel Shots!!
