Buying for someone who’s always out running, cycling or walking, whatever the Irish weather? Sports gear makes a useful Christmas present, and a lot of it is on offer right now. Here are the deals we’ve checked for runners, cyclists and walkers, from big gifts to stocking fillers.
Deals checked on 10 November 2026. Each saving is measured against Decathlon’s own lowest price in the 30 days before the discount, as the shop shows it, unless we say otherwise. Prices and stock can change at any time, so check the shop’s page before you buy.

A GPS watch is a gift most runners will use every day. Decathlon has the Garmin Forerunner 165 and the cheaper Garmin Forerunner 55 on an offer to 30 November. Decathlon doesn’t show an earlier price for these two, so we don’t claim a saving; we list them because they cost less at Decathlon than at the other Irish shops we checked. For a serious runner, the Garmin Forerunner 265 is on offer at Amazon.ie. More options in our running watch and fitness deals.

Tips before you buy sports gear as a gift
- Sizes: shoes and boots fit differently from brand to brand. If you can, find out the size they wear in that brand, or buy early so there’s time to swap.
- Gift receipts and returns: buying online from an EU shop gives you 14 days to change your mind. See our guide to your Christmas shopping rights in Ireland.
- Offer end dates: some of these end before Christmas. If it matters to you, buy before the date shown.
