42KM is an independent running brand born from a desire to revolutionize the world of running gear. We started our journey in 2018, driven by a passion for running and a mission to make high-quality products more accessible. We stand for the joy of active living and the vibrant energy it brings to life. Our products are designed for those who believe in the power of running, whether they're just starting or have been at it for years.

What 42KM stands for

At 42KM, "42" symbolizes the marathon—the ultimate test of endurance, commitment, and perseverance. The "KM" grounds us in the metric of distance, a nod to the global nature of running. Together, these elements represent the journey every runner embarks on, no matter the distance. We believe that running is more than just a sport; it’s a celebration of the human spirit, a quest for self-improvement, and a community that brings people together.

The Logo

Our logo—a combination of four and two stripes—represents the distance of a marathon, 42 kilometers, the ultimate running challenge. It’s a symbol of the perseverance and dedication that every runner embodies. Each stripe is a reminder that every step you take, no matter how small, is a step toward achieving something great.

Honest pricing

We believe you have the right to know what your clothes cost to make. While premium brands often mark up their products 6 to 8 times the production cost, and mass-market brands go up to 4 to 5 times, we’re taking a different approach. At 42KM, we price our products just 2 to 3 times the production cost. How do we do this? By running our business consciously, avoiding excessive profits, and focusing on what truly matters—bringing you the best running gear at a fair price.

Our team is dedicated to bringing more people into the running community, celebrating every mile and every achievement.
