For your mom who enjoys participating in marathons and races, there are plenty of exciting and thoughtful gift ideas that will surely make her birthday memorable and show how much you support her passion for running. Here are some suggestions:

1. Personalized Marathon Map: Consider getting a personalized marathon map showcasing all the races she has completed. You can highlight each race and customize it with her name, race times, and any special achievements. This gift will be a beautiful reminder of her accomplishments and will make a great addition to her running area or office.

2. Race Entry: Find out if there are any upcoming races or marathons in her favorite location and surprise her with an entry. This will give her something to look forward to and allow her to continue pursuing her love for running. Additionally, you can accompany her or offer to be her support team on race day.

3. Running Gear Upgrade: High-quality running gear is essential for any runner. Consider gifting her some premium items such as a new pair of running shoes, a lightweight and breathable running jacket, compression socks for recovery, or a GPS running watch. These items will enhance her running experience and ensure she stays comfortable during her training sessions and races.

4. Customizable Medal Display: As a marathon runner, your mom surely has accumulated numerous race medals. Help her showcase her achievements with a customized medal display rack. There are various designs available, from simple wooden displays to more elaborate options. This gift will not only allow her to display her medals proudly, but it will also serve as a daily reminder of her dedication and hard work.

5. Subscription to a Fitness App: Consider gifting her a subscription to a popular running or fitness app. Many apps offer personalized training plans, virtual races, performance tracking, and even nutrition guidance. This gift will provide her with additional resources to track her progress, set goals, and improve her overall running experience.

6. Running Book or Magazine Subscription: If your mom loves reading, consider getting her a book related to running or a subscription to a running magazine. There are plenty of inspiring memoirs, training guides, and motivational books she can enjoy during her downtime.
