Sykes PX

Best Running Shorts Ever

This is my third pair. Can't think of another pair I'd want for hard days, easy days, or race days. I'll be back for more....

Fabric is amazing just like my graves shorts. These shorts are for my races. Graves is for at home mostly relaxing.

Race-Ready Comfort

I’ve been training for a half-marathon and also raced in the Path Projects Sykes PX Shorts, and they’ve been excellent from start to finish. For reference, I’m 5’8”, 135 lbs, and I went with the 7” inseam in a size small. The fit is spot-on—secure without feeling tight, and just the right length for both training runs and race day. I paired these with the Path Projects Lynx PD Liner (5” inseam, size small), and together they handled everything I needed. One of the standout features is the pocket system. The pockets held my gels firmly in place with no bouncing or shifting, even on longer runs, which made fueling much easier. I can even fit my iPhone 15 Pro Max in the back center pocket. They’re incredibly lightweight and comfortable—honestly, you barely notice you’re wearing them. I also experienced zero chafing, which is huge, especially during higher mileage weeks and on race day. Overall, this setup is reliable, well-designed, and performs exactly how you want it to. I’d definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a pair of running shorts they can wear with complete confidence, whether for daily training or race day.
