Women's Running Shorts

Nike women's running shorts help runners everywhere chase down their dreams. Our commitment to women's running began in 1979, when we proudly partnered with the International Runners' Committee to lobby for equality in distance events. Today, our running shorts for women give you the confidence you need to succeed—from afternoon park runs with the family to lightning-fast sprints and challenging trail races. Expect practical, comfortable cuts and pro-quality materials to help you power through each stride and mile.

Keep your cool with Nike Dri-FIT

Whether you're tearing up the track at your local athletics club or training for a new personal best in a marathon—working hard means working up a sweat. Nike running shorts for women include pairs made with our unique Nike Dri-FIT fabric. Moisture-wicking fibres actively draw sweat away from your skin, so it can dry quickly. Meanwhile, a breathable weave lets air circulate around your body. The result? Reduced cling and chafing, so you can stay focused on achieving your target.

Little details make a big difference

Fine margins matter when it comes to a strong performance. That's why we pay attention to the small stuff when we craft our Nike women's track shorts. Our stretchy materials move and flex whenever you do, and they hold their shape during the toughest of runs. Look for extra-deep waistbands that stay in place, plus inner drawcords that let you secure the fit. You'll also find discreet zipped pockets to keep your phone, snack, keys and other essentials with you. If you'll be running in low-light conditions, go for pairs with reflective design elements that complement your high-vis for maximum visibility.

Explore your potential

If your training takes you off-road, check out our range of women's running shorts specifically designed for trail runners. Look out for women's trail running shorts made with water-repellent fabrics. These resist everything from mud splashes to sudden showers—so you can smash your goals in any weather. Changeable conditions? Elastic loops let you hang your top, making it a breeze to layer up and down.

Move with confidence

Find your perfect fit in our range of women's running shorts. Biker-short styles hug close for a sleek finish. You can go for a minimal look with a low-rise, short-legged pair, or opt for extra support and coverage with a high waistband and a longer leg length. If you like a looser silhouette, we have lightweight pairs with generous side splits that provide maximum freedom of movement.
