Looking for a 'bounce-free' running belt so you can enjoy hands-free trail runs or long walks with your dog? The Trail Runner Belt is a hip belt & leash attachment system for dog 'on-leash' running (or walking!). It's lightweight, streamlined & has 2 handy zippered pockets so you can carry your essentials too!
The Ruffwear Trail Runner Belt is perfect for hands-free running (or walking) with your dog. The adjustable hip belt has two zippered 'stretch' pockets to comfortably carry your mobile & essentials. Plus it's designed to lay flat and snug on your body for a bounce free running experience.
The running belt has a clever leash attachment system which works with most leashes that have a handle. Our favourite to pair it with though is the Trail Runner Leash - this bungee dog lead has a shock absorbing design and, importantly, is the optimal length for running.
Don't want to attach a leash? The Trail Runner Belt can be used with or without a dog leash attached. Scroll down to see a video that shows how you can store the leash attachment system if you're doing off-leash running.
