About Us

What We Do


As a runner, you’re the sum of the choices that have made you the athlete you are today. No two of us are the same; no two training plans, race strategies, or recovery methods. Every runner is uncommon.

Our running apparel has been meticulously developed and tested by athletes. In doing so we share in the personal stories that make each runner unique. The perfect blend of iconic style, premium materials, and high-performance functionality.

Whatever your journey, dare to be Uncommon®.

The Story So Far

Uncommon Runner was founded by Luke and Emma, a couple based in Columbus, Ohio.

Together, they created Uncommon Runner: performance gear built with edge, intention, and identity.

Each piece is inspired by uncommon athletes, past and present.

The Now

A full range of custom developed running apparel has landed.

Fabric sourcing has taken us to Italy; famed for the world’s highest quality garment materials.

We have undertaken the years long process of designing each garment from scratch. It starts with a concept and must be translated into a drawing with detailed specifications. This involved tirelessly taking specific measurements, ordering sample garments, and adjusting them little by little until they are perfect.

Each fabric and design feature has being tested by runners from our community. For example, potential TempoTech Tee fabrics would be worn on long runs through humid summer nights and as a base layer on frigid winter morning interval sessions. If something didn’t work, we would send it back to the drawing board.

We are incredibly excited to have launched our range of specialist premium running apparel. Developed in collaboration with athletes from across the USA and Europe, we endeavor to create go-to garments that reflect the determination and character of the individuals who have helped us along the way.
