Body & Spirit

Runners are superstitious. We have special routines, unshakeable habits and go-to outfits for the days when we need to perform our best. That’s why we designed the Bell Lap with both psychology and performance in mind. Crafted from a supportive fabric and speed-ready silhouette, athletes first tested the Bell Lap over 26.2 miles at the Atlanta Marathon Trials and have since donned the top to compete in events ranging from the long jump to cross country.

Key Features

Race-Day Ready

The Bell Lap was created for high intensity efforts, allowing an optimal range of motion and offering the security that race day requires. Finished with our signature sash, it’s designed for the pursuit of excellence.

Fit for Purpose

Crafted in the same material as our Allston line, the crop top touts a compressive yet comfortable fit. It’s finished with a soft, elasticated hem that hits right under the bust to support the chest. Wear it with or without a bra.

Ready to Strike

We tested the new Bell Lap Top over two speeds: on Kate Raphael at an indoor 5k at BU’s Valentine Invitational and on our OTQ Program women at the Marathon Trials in Atlanta. The verdict? This is the perfect top for any distance, with plenty of support for higher speeds and all the comfort you need to go the full 26.2.

For cross country runners, pre-season is a time all its own, a short window of time for building fitness and team bonds before the real work begins. Part of an ongoing exploration of teams, we joined a group of collegiate runners in western Massachusetts to chronicle their final days of summer.
