'This belt is well designed and I would be comfortable running with it long distances,' says one online reviewer. Our experts appreciate the quick-release leash attachment and locking clip that ensures your pup won't accidentally bonk the carabiner that attaches them to the leash and break free. It also has a water bottle holder (and included water bottle) and additional elastic pouch space for items that need quick access. The attached hip bag features a zipper pouch great for snacks, pet treats, your phone and even features a key ring for keeping track of your keys. Serious runners and trail trotters can snag this runner system by Ruffwear that will make jogging with your pup a breeze. They also liked the ability to connect the leash to the front or back of the harness depending on what you're using it for. Our testers found that they liked the mesh the harness was made from as it seemed more comfortable for their pup, which is especially important when running since the harness can rub against their body and irritate them. Plus, it seamlessly transfers between a running and regular leash so it can be used in all circumstances (even while training when adjusted to the three-foot training leash style). The reflective trim, padded handle and the bottle opener on the adjustable carabiner are just the icing on the cake. With a six-foot length, your pup will have no trouble exploring the path around you while on this leash. The 6-in-1 leash can be used in six different ways including as a hand-held leash, worn as a crossbody and fastened around the waist for a hands-free experience. Versatility is king when it comes to this leash by Kurgo and the Air Dog Harness that can be used with it. To make our list, we researched dozens of dog running leashes, read through hundreds of five-star reviews, evaluated products in our Lab and with consumer testers, and considered products by our expert-favorite brands. From dog harnesses to dog carriers to dog sunscreen to keep them protected while out and about, our experts have evaluated over a half dozen leashes (and a half dozen harnesses) in our Lab along with our team of consumer testers for factors like fit, comfort, control of the dog, ease of use and more. The Good Housekeeping Institute tests everything you need as a pet parent, and has over a century-long history of testing some of the best products out there and providing reliable information. From hands-free leashes that tie around your waist to bungee leashes and those with built-in storage pouches, these leashes will have your back no matter what your run brings. Whether you're a marathoner looking for a replacement for your 15-year-old ragged leash, or a new pet owner just starting out, finding the right running leash for you and your pup can make all the difference.

One thing though, you will have to buy extra leashes separately if you need to run with multiple dogs.What's a better combination than your furry best friend and a brisk morning jog? For avid runners, or those of us who are just starting to try our hand at a quick trot around the block, bringing your dog along for the ride can make exercise that much more fun, and offer an exciting bonding opportunity for you and your fur baby.

The belt fits waist sizes from 28 inches to 48 inches and has a swivel snap-hook that can slide back and forth as your dog moves.

Additionally, it comes with two handles that offer instant control over your pup. That also means you will be able to keep your dog within arm’s distance or give them maximum freedom if you have room to run. It also has three unique adjustable settings, which allow you to adjust the length of the lead from 30 inches to 54 inches. It is made of high-performance marine-grade materials with a uniquely designed bungee system to achieve a minimum breaking strength of 215 pounds. However, the Iron Doggy Runner’s Choice Hands-Free Dog Leash is capable of dealing with that. There aren’t many hands-free leashes out there that can take the shock out of those unpredictable pulls, lunges, and sudden changes of direction, especially when it comes to running with two dogs.
