Find Inspiration In The Most Popular Running and Marathon Blogs right here.

I love running blogs! Reading about the experiences of other runners is a great motivational factor for me. I could have written a top 10 or top 50 list but since there are so many awesome blogs: Here is my list of the 105 Best Running and Marathon Blogs to follow! They are all popular and frequently updated sites. The number was previously 130, but I have cleaned up a bit during the years.

The websites represent mostly individuals, but also some brands. Even if I have tried to find a good gender mix, it seems that women are more into running blogs than men. There is also an interestingly large amount of people from Washington DC represented, but of course lots of other places too.

I’ve listed the blogs in alphabetical order since I found it very difficult to range the blogs otherwise. If you don’t want to read from top to toe, start at the bottom and read upwards.

If you know any other cool running blogs, maybe your own, I suggest you mention it at the bottom of the page. Maybe you will be featured in my next most popular running blogs list.

Congrats to the selected blogs! Thanks to the bloggers who helped me fine-tune the information. You are great! At the bottom is an Award Badge you can use on your site if you want.

Shortcuts: A-C, D-F, G-I, J-L, M-O, P-R, S-U, V-Z, To the bottom.
