Best Triathlete Gift Ideas for the Holidays

Triathlon is a sport that’s all about the gear (and the nutrition). Which is why I’ve put together this list of triathlete gift ideas to help you with your shopping, or inspiration to treat yourself to some new tri gear!

And, make sure you also head to my best runner gift ideas for the holidays post as well!

I’ve been a part of the triathlon community since 2009, and the clothing, tech and gear continues to get better and better! My dietitian team and I gathered this list of things we love and things we dream of having ourselves.

Lower-ticket triathlete gift ideas

Lock laces (no-tie shoe laces) – I use these in alllllll my running shoes. I’m obsessed with them. These would make the perfect stocking stuffer for your triathlete loved one.

Swim buoy – Perfect for open water training to keep yourself visible!

Swim paddles – Great for improving technique and strength in the pool.

Zwift subscription – Someday when I train for another 70.3 or full Ironman, this will be top of my list of things to have during the winter months.

Magic5 Swim Goggles – Tons of rave reviews on the fit of these!

Goodr Sunglasses – My absolute favorite sunglasses to wear!

Kettle Bell Set – I can’t express enough how important strength training is to endurance performance.

WYN Republic Tri Kit – So comfortable, I’m obsessed with my tri suit from them!

Higher-ticket triathlete gift ideas

Garmin Edge Bike Computer – Offers safety features + TrainingPeak structured workouts.

Garmin Varia Radar Tail Light – A rear taillight never has been so fancy. This one sends alerts to your bike computer or phone letting you know that a car is approaching!

WAHOO Kickr Smart Trainer – If I ever train for an Ironman again, this will be at the very top of my gift list with a Zwift subscription.

Garmin Rally RS200 Power Meter Cleats – Ok, this is a HUGE splurge, but including them in the list anyways because sometimes we just need a little inspiration of what gifts to buy ourselves.
