From packed run clubs to first-time 5Ks, more people are embracing running as an accessible, everyday way to support both physical and mental wellbeing.
In Canada, nearly 1 in 4 households report going for a run or jog regularly, with that momentum reflected locally as the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon surpassed 30,000 participants in 2025 and continues to see strong demand for 2026.
As running becomes routine, there is also increased demand for wearables that go beyond basic run tracking and help people train smarter, recover properly, and stay consistent.
Samsung’s Galaxy ecosystem reflects this shift, bringing together performance, recovery, and lifestyle insights in one connected experience. Here are the top 4 Samsung products for runners.
Galaxy Watch8 Series
Including Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic, this lineup supports structured activity tracking with features like Running Coach, advanced heart rate monitoring, and Workout Routine. Beyond workouts, tools like Energy Score provide a snapshot of daily readiness by factoring in sleep, activity, and recovery data.
Galaxy Watch Ultra (Navy)
Designed for more demanding environments, Galaxy Watch Ultra offers enhanced durability (IP68), extended battery life, and Dual Frequency GPS for precise tracking. While suited for high-intensity and outdoor use, it also integrates with broader health tracking, making it a versatile option for users balancing performance and everyday wellness.
Galaxy Ring
Galaxy Ring brings a more lightweight, continuous approach to health tracking, with a strong focus on sleep and recovery. With insights into sleep stages, stress, and overall recovery, it’s designed to complement daytime activity tracking and provide a more complete picture of user health.
Samsung Health
Samsung Health unifies data across devices, offering a holistic view of activity, sleep, and recovery over time, supporting not just training goals, but broader lifestyle and wellness habits.
