New Favorite Running Shorts

I bought these in 3 colors because I loved the way they fit when I tried them on in the store. After running in them, I can tell you they do not disappoint. It's like they weren't even there. I am 5'5", 130 lbs and purchased the XS. I don't normally consider myself an XS, but that's what I seem to a...lign to in Athleta running shorts.

Great fit, poor quality liner

I loved these shorts from the minute I put them on, however, the liner panty is made of fabric similar to pantyhose. On the 3rd wearing I had a hole. Too delicate.

Love The Mesh Racer, Not Sure About White Color

I love the Mesh Racer shorts, I've had them for years and wear them all summer, even to throw over my bathing suit. I liked the higher rise option that was available and new last year, but went back to the mid rise for the white color. I was pleasantly surprised that they have a nude undergarment sewn in, but still can't quite decide if I want to keep the white.

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4"" Short

Love these shorts! I have them in green and then bought them in white when they went on sale. I am 5'1 140 lbs and bought them in Large because I like my clothes roomy. I wear theaw shorts for light working out, playing with my son, and generally being active, but if I planned to run in them I would get a Medium to prevent bunching/ moving . Love them! #sweepstakes

I have these in every color and pattern. I love them. Perfect length. Waist band is thick and comfortable and the white isn't see through. These are my favorite Athleta shorts!

I have bought many of these shorts over the years. This style really lasts. You can buy a bigger size and then make the waist smaller.
