The Original Runbell For Urban Running

A wearable runner’s bell that politely alerts others on shared paths—no shouting required.

Replace "On Your Left" and "Coming Through" with the musical, resonant sound of Runbell. Glide past pedestrians on busy sidewalks and request the right of way from fellow runners with Runbell. Worn on the hand, this running bell makes your presence known to people up ahead.

Runbell gives others the opportunity to move out of the way, avert collisions and avoid being startled as you run by. This ingenious running bell features a brass dome and spring loaded striker that create a loud chime to gain the attention of others. Perfect for bustling sidewalks, indoor tracks and outdoor parks, Runbell’s sound carries over the noise of car traffic, weight equipment and wide-open spaces to ensure an obstruction-free run anywhere.

FAQs

Does the Runbell stay secure on my finger while running?

The adjustable silicone ring keeps Runbell firmly in place on your finger, even during active movement like running.

How do I wear Runbell?

Wear Runbell so that the dome of the bell rides atop your knuckles. This keeps the palms of your hands free for turning doorknobs, picking up objects, or bracing yourself against a fall.

How do I ring Runbell?

To produce the bell sound with Runbell, simply flick the striker with your thumb. The striker spring flexes, and then springs back to strike the dome of the bell. You can either push the striker forward, or pull the striker to the side, whichever motion is easier for you.
