Marathon Must-Haves

In recent years, running has become an extremely popular way to keep fit and meet friends, and with Perth now home to a wide range of marathons, run clubs and running events, there’s never been a better time to take up the sport and put your body to the test.
Whether you’ve signed up for a half marathon or you’re ready to push your body to the limit via an ultramarathon, there are a few essential items you’re going to want to have on hand to ensure you cross the finish line with a new personal best.
Mother SPF Universal Face SPF 50
Next time you’re getting ready to race, don’t forget to protect yourself from harmful UV rays that speed up the aging process by slathering on some of the easy-to-apply Mother SPF Universal Face SPF 50!
Sweat and water-resistant for up to two hours, this broad spectrum Zinc Oxide SPF is formulated with organic non-comedogenic botanicals such as Kakadu plum and jojoba oil, so it’s super hydrating, calming and cooling.
HyperLuxe the Label Cross Body Bag
Ensure all of your essentials are within arm’s reach on any run with the HyperLuxe the Label Cross Body Bag in black. As the name suggests, this nifty design can be worn cross-body or as a bum bag or shoulder bag.
Boasting two compartments with zip closures - so you don’t have to worry about anything bouncing out onto the road or pavement during your run - this chic style is big enough to hold essential items, including your phone, keys and medical must-haves such as an inhaler or EpiPen.
Hoka Sneakers
When it comes to running shoes, you can’t beat Hoka. Favoured by all of us here at HyperLuxe, the Hoka W Bondi 8 Sneaker is synonymous with stability and comfort.
Featuring a higher bed of soft cushion, the Bondi 8 is designed to provide a forgiving impact and ride, which is ideal for taking care of your feet while training for or competing in a marathon.

HyperLuxe Runners High Split Short
As a family of runners, we thought long and hard about what would make a great running short when designing our HyperLuxe the Label collection.
After much consideration, we landed on the HyperLuxe Runners High Split Short, which features split sides for freedom of movement, an in-built knicker liner to offer additional comfort and modesty and a wide flat waist band that doesn’t dig in.
We also extensively considered what material would be best for marathon runners and casual joggers, landing on lightweight, quick-dry fabric that doesn’t crunch or rustle as you run. We are so proud of this high-performance design and encourage you to try on a pair and hit the pavement asap to see what all the fuss is about!
HyperLuxe Active Visor
Knowing what we do about the hole in the ozone layer that’s letting in all of those pesky UV rays, it would be remiss of any of us West Aussies to step outside for a run without wearing a hat.
If a traditional cap style leaves the top of your noggin feeling clammy and hot during a run, we recommend switching over to a visor style hat that protects you from the sun without suffocating your scalp.
Available in black, the HyperLuxe the Label Active Visor delivers lightweight sun protection with a velcro strap at the back to ensure a perfect fit every time.
With these marathon must-haves from HyperLuxe, you’ll be ready to hit the grass or pavement and conquer any race in comfort and style. So gear up, stay sun-safe and enjoy every step of the journey!
