Gbaoso Run the Mile You're In Men's fleece shorts

Stay motivated and comfortable all day in these Men’s Fleece Shorts featuring the inspiring phrase “Run the Mile You’re In.” Designed for versatility and style, these shorts are perfect for everything from intense workouts to relaxed lounging at home. With a motivational message that moves with you, they’re more than just shorts—they’re a reminder to live each moment with purpose.

This piece comes from the Gbaoso Collection—"to run"—a line designed by Wealth Ndego and exclusive to Run Minnesota. The collection honors the strength, creativity, and unity of Minnesota’s running community.

This product includes the Gbaoso kola nut design. Native to West African regions, the kola nut (Cola Acuminata or Cola Nitida) is the seed of the kola fruit from the kola tree. While it holds cultural importance across many West African ethnic groups, in Igbo culture it is revered as “the king of all fruits” for its central role in social and religious traditions. In this collection, the kola nut is designed with four lobes (Oji ibe eno), also called Oji Udo na Ngozi — which translates to “kola nut of peace, harmony, and blessings.”
