Fun fact: The Membership began as a way for us to give early access and a store discount to our friends, family, and earliest supporters back in 2021. From there, it quickly evolved into a program with the goal of becoming the most valuable membership in the sport. At $100/year, a majority of Bandit Members are 'in the green' after just their first order and we're hell-bent on continuing to add more and more benefits to cover your full running journey and help you save $$$ along the way.
Here's some big update to The Membership we recently made and a sneak preview of what's to come in 2026...
1. THE MEMBERSHIP DASHBOARD
Introducing a shiny new Membership Dashboard where Members can seamlessly claim exclusive offers with amazing partners across nutrition, travel, gear, recovery, gyms, and more. Members can also see their total savings since joining (majority are 'in the green' after their first Bandit order), and keep track of their annual race calendar. Still a few little things to clean up, but it's looking pretty, pretty, pretty good.
2. NEW PARTNERS & BENEFITS
We're proud and excited to announce a first-of-it's kind partnership with Engine, a travel booking platform (flights, hotels, rental cars) normally reserved for large corporate organizations. Users of Engine save 25% on average of bookings. Depending on your schedule, this will result in hundreds and hundreds of dollars in annual savings. Huge. And to make matters even better, we've teamed up with Shake Shack (our go-to post-race celebratory meal) to offer 15% of all in-restaurant orders.
3. BANDIT CREDIT BACK
Officially up and running, you can now earn Bandit Credit Back when you make purchases with select partners. Buy a new COROS watch? 10% Bandit Credit Back. Snag a pair of new ASICS? Same thing. We're on a mission to make The Membership as much of a no-brainer as humanly possible.
4. 2026 MEMBER SOCKS
Each year, Members receive 2 pairs of an exclusive sock colorway. It's both a testament to remembering our origins as a humble sock brand, and a way for the community to break the ice when we're out running around. This year, we went with something a little more wild... Plus, all new packaging and surprises. Stay tuned. Sorry for the tease.
5. GIFTING THE MEMBERSHIP
Members are now able to give the gift of... The Membership. And by doing so, you'll receive $25 Bandit Credit Back. And not to worry, you're not on the hook for paying for every year after - the gift receiver will have their own option to renew at the end of the year.

As always, the mission to make The Membership better and better continues. We're looking forward to adding more partners, improving the experience for international Members, and finding new ways to support your running journey.
