New Balance RC Ultra Light Split Womens 3 Inch Running Shorts

New Balance Women’s RC Ultra Light Split Running Shorts – 3 Inch Inseam

Engineered for performance, the New Balance Women’s RC Ultra Light Split Short 3" combines advanced fabric technology with a race-ready design. This lightweight women’s running short takes everything that makes the original RC Short a go-to for elite runners—four-way stretch fabric, a built-in brief, and a featherlight feel—and reimagines it with a classic split-leg racing silhouette for enhanced freedom of movement. Whether you're pushing for a PR or grinding through tempo runs, these women’s running shorts offer distraction-free performance and barely-there comfort.

Barely There Comfort for Maximum Performance Top-tier performance means total focus—and sometimes that means forgetting your gear is even there. That’s the design philosophy behind the RC Ultra Light Short. The outer shell uses stretch-woven fabric engineered for airflow and freedom, providing a breathable, weightless sensation that stays out of your way. It’s the reason these are called the Ultra Light.

Optimized for Race Day From 5Ks to marathons, every detail of the New Balance RC Ultra Light Split Short is built with performance in mind. The classic split short silhouette is chosen for a reason—it removes excess material that could interfere with your stride or cause drag. By minimizing obstruction and maximizing motion, these women’s racing shorts let you move freely, fluidly, and fast.

Smart Storage for Race Fuel The RC Ultra Light Split Short isn’t just about minimal weight—it’s also made for maximum utility. Drop-in pockets are built into the seamless inner brief, offering secure and convenient access to your running gels, fuel packets, or small race-day essentials. This smart internal storage design ensures you’re ready to refuel on the fly, without losing momentum.
