On November 6, New York City’s usual symphony of honking cabs and commuters will be replaced with the thundering footsteps of more than 50,000 runners as they snake through five boroughs, and 3 million spectators cheering their heads off and deploying confetti cannons for the 2022 New York City Marathon. It’s the largest of the six world major marathons, and the days leading up to the race are nothing short of electric, with events buzzing throughout the city. This year is one for the books as Brooklyn-based challenger apparel upstart Bandit Running has announced an eventful weekend itinerary that aligns back to its ambitious mission to “Evolve the full experience of running.” In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies
Bandit started in October 2020 in a basement apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with a single product: performance running socks. The brand caught fire in the NYC running community for its product quality, standout branding and, most importantly, community-first approach. All models, content creators, and product testers were early customers and friends of the brand.

In September, it launched its debut racing kit for men and women including the men’s AirWare Race Singlet—in black and white—made of a featherlight Italian fabric that feels like a luxurious second skin. Sorry to say it sold out in the first hour, so stay tuned for more racing drops.

Dual-side pockets are secure and deep enough for gels and a smartphone, ensuring a jostle-free fit.

Later in November, its winter 2022 drop will comprise more core run tight colorways, long-sleeve performance tees, and other staples to withstand bone-chilling winter runs.
Courtesy of Bandit Running Local Startup Makes Strides on a Global Stage Activating a weekend of programming for the local and global run community during an event as major as the New York City Marathon is a big bet for any new brand. But as Bandit founder Tim West explains, there was no other choice but to go big: “New York built the foundation of this brand. This is our home. We feel a distinct pride and responsibility to contribute to the energy of this special weekend.”
