You can gift them a personalized running shirt, water bottle, or a marathon medal display rack engraved with their name or a motivational message. This thoughtful gift will remind them of their love for running and the support they have in their marriage.

2. Running Shoe Gift Card: A good pair of running shoes is essential for marathon runners. Consider getting them a gift card from a reputable running shoe store, where they can choose the perfect pair of shoes that suits their running style and needs. It shows that you value their passion and want to support them in their running journey.

3. Race Entry Fee: Surprise your friend by gifting them a race entry fee for an upcoming marathon that they have their eye on. This unique gift not only supports their love for running but also gives them a goal to work towards during their early days of marriage. It will give them both an opportunity to bond and train together, creating new memories as a couple.

4. Personal Trainer or Running Coach: Help them take their running to the next level by gifting them a few sessions with a personal trainer or running coach. This professional guidance will provide them with personalized training plans, tips for avoiding injuries, and strategies to improve their performance. It's a powerful way to encourage their athletic endeavors and commitment to staying fit.

5. Marathon Photo Book: Compile a collection of memorable photos from their past marathons, and create a personalized photo book capturing their journey as a runner. Include race photos, training pictures, and candid shots to tell their story. They can look back on this book and reminisce about their accomplishments and the dedication they have put into the sport. It will be a cherished keepsake for years to come.

6. Relaxation and Recovery Kit: Running marathons can be physically demanding, so help your friend recover and relax after a race by putting together a thoughtful relaxation and recovery kit. Fill it with items like massage tools, bath salts, essential oils, compression socks, and a cozy robe. This gift shows that you care about their well-being and encourages them to take care of themselves even in the midst of their busy married life.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is to show your friend that you know and support their passion for marathon running. Choose a gift that aligns with their interests and helps them perform better, recover faster, or create lasting memories.
