Fast Not Loose

The Van Cortlandt Shorts strike the ideal balance between race-ready function and common good taste. Falling in the 4" inseam sweet spot and made from a lightweight and antimicrobial fabric, these shorts are a simple, modern take on the classic running short silhouette. The liner is built from the same near-weightless, anti-stink 2:09 Mesh as the rest of the short, with 3 internal drop-in pockets for stashing up to 6 gels.

Key Features

Race Ready

Cut for speed with a 4” inseam, we stripped these shorts down to the essentials to ensure lightweight performance. The waistband features a channeled drawstring for an adjustable fit, and the liner features 3 drop-in pockets that store up to 6 gels.

The shorts feature a lightweight liner in the same antimicrobial mesh as the body. Three drop-in pockets for fuel, keys, or cards sit at the back interior of the waistband.

The Originals.

The Van Cortlandt Singlet and Shorts were the first two products designed as part of Tracksmith’s debut collection in 2014. Winners since day one, runners have donned these staples for events ranging from Diamond League sprints and U.S. Championships to major marathons and local turkey trots. Tweaked only slightly over the last twelve years, the Van Cortlandt retains its timeless appeal.
