3. Race Entry: Surprise your mom with an entry to her next marathon or race. Find out about the upcoming events in her area and register her for one she would be excited to participate in. Remember to choose a race that is at a suitable time and distance according to her preferences and abilities.

4. Running Gear Subscription Box: Subscription boxes have gained popularity as a convenient way to receive curated products regularly. You can gift your mom a subscription box specifically designed for runners. These boxes usually include various running gear, accessories, nutrition samples, and motivational items to keep her motivated and inspired throughout her training.

Look for a journal specifically designed for runners, where she can log her daily runs, track her mileage, set new targets, and record her race experiences. Add a personal touch by including a heartfelt message or a motivational quote on the cover.

6. Sports Massage or Spa Day: After long and intense training sessions, your mom definitely deserves some rest and relaxation. Treat her to a sports massage or a pampering spa day to help her recover and rejuvenate. Look for local spa or wellness centers that offer specialized treatments, such as deep tissue massages or sports-specific therapies, to cater to her running-related needs.

7. Inspirational Running Books or Biographies: If your mom enjoys reading, consider gifting her some inspirational running books or biographies of accomplished runners. These books can provide her with motivation, tips, and stories to help her continue pursuing her passion for running. Choose titles that focus on her favorite aspects of running, be it marathon training, mindset, or race experiences.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is the thought and effort behind it. By selecting a gift that aligns with your mom's passion for running, you will ensure that she feels appreciated and supported in her endeavors.
