For runners, parenthood doesn’t mean hanging up your trainers—it just means changing your running partner. Thule, a brand synonymous with quality gear for active lifestyles, has just levelled up the running game with the launch of the Thule Glide 3. Building on the legendary success of the Glide 2, this new iteration is a masterclass in performance engineering, specifically crafted for parents who refuse to compromise on their training.
Built for Speed, Designed for Stability
If you’re training for a marathon or tackling long, hilly routes, you know that your stroller needs to be an extension of your own stride. The Glide 3 features a lightweight, aerodynamic frame that cuts through the wind, paired with massive 18” rear wheels and a fixed 16” front wheel. This combination is the gold standard for stability at speed, ensuring the stroller tracks perfectly straight whether you’re crushing tempo runs on asphalt or navigating rugged gravel trails.
Thule has also addressed a common runner’s frustration: the kick-stride. The updated parking brake design provides extra clearance, giving your feet the room they need to find their natural rhythm without any accidental interference.
Precision Control and Safety
Running downhill or across uneven surfaces requires confidence, and the Glide 3 delivers with an integrated twist hand brake. This gives you immediate, intuitive speed control, allowing you to manage your pace without breaking your form.
For the little passenger, the ride is smoother than ever thanks to an updated suspension system paired with air-filled tyres. The new magnetic buckle on the adjustable padded harness is a game-changer for parents—making it incredibly quick to secure your child even on those early-morning, sleep-deprived start times. Plus, with a multi-position ventilated canopy, your child stays protected from the elements, regardless of the weather.
Smart Features for the Modern Athlete
Thule understands that convenience is just as important as performance. The Glide 3 features a one-handed compact fold, making it easy to stow in the boot of your car immediately after a session.
Key features for the runner include:
- Ergonomic Adjustable Handlebar: Tailor the grip to your height for perfect posture.
- Reflective Detailing: Enhanced visibility on the wheels and canopy for those crucial early-morning or twilight miles.
- Storage Galore: A large cargo basket, rear mesh pocket, and internal compartments provide plenty of space for water bottles, snacks, and extra layers.
“The Thule Glide 3 is the result of years of experience and innovation,” says Sara Berggren, International Product Manager at Thule. “We took everything that runners loved about the Thule Glide 2 and made it even better… whether you’re training for a marathon or enjoying an active lifestyle, this stroller is designed to perform at the highest level.”
Whether you’re keeping your fitness base steady or chasing a new personal best, the Thule Glide 3 is designed to ensure that your baby gets the best view in the house, and you get the best run of your day.
