Running Hats

Protect your noggin with a piece of kit that's both stylish and functional. Not to be confused with your standard ball caps, these running caps offer athletes greater breathability, lightweight performance and will have you looking great and feeling cool from start to the finish line.

Not all hats are built to go the distance. Thankfully, our huge range of Running Hats at Aid Station have got you covered.
Running hats, like those from Fractel, rnnr, and Ciele, are specifically designed for performance, unlike your everyday baseball cap. They're lightweight, breathable, and made to handle sweat, sun, and long miles. Think moisture-wicking materials, quick-dry tech, built-in UPF sun protection, and packable designs that bounce back, no matter how many times you crush them in your bag. Plus, they’re often built with runner-friendly details like reflective logos and ventilated panels. In short: they’re gear, not just an accessory. Once you try one, your old cotton cap doesn’t stand a chance.

As athletes who cherish every trail, road and waterway we train on, Aid Station proudly acknowledges the Wurundjeri and Bunurong People as the Traditional Owners of the land where we lace up our shoes each day. We respect every athlete's journey, and extend this same respect to all First Nations People and Elders across Australia, whose ancient pathways we now follow during races and adventures. We recognise the enduring connection First Nations Peoples have with Country - a relationship that shows the ultimate endurance. At Aid Station, while we help athletes fuel their journeys, we’re equally committed to respecting and preserving the land that sustains us. As proud sponsors of TRIMOB and the IRONMOB Program, we're honoured to support communities who share our passion for endurance sport. We pay respects to Elders past, present and future, celebrating the rich heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples - true endurance experts long before the first marathon was run.
