About Us

For The Run. For The Athlete. For The Community.

At Layer, we believe that sport is more than just performance.

Born in the UK and built inside our own workshops, Layer began with a simple mission: create accessible, sustainable sportswear that athletes can trust; whether you're training for your first 5K, lining up for a triathlon, or showing up for your community at run club.


Our Story

Layer started as an idea on the roads, trails and tracks. We saw a gap for sportswear that felt honest, inclusive, and built with purpose; not hype.

So we started small. We designed our own apparel, printed sustainable cotton pieces in-house, and listened to runners and athletes every step of the way.

Today, Layer blends technical performance with everyday comfort, creating kit that works as hard as you do. From training tees to backpacks and race-day essentials, everything we make is driven by real athletes, real movement, and real community impact.


Layer Run Club

What started with a small group of runners in Long Eaton has grown into a community movement.

Layer Run Club is open to everyone; free, friendly, and focused on connection as much as progression.


Where We’re Going

Layer is expanding technical sportswear, building out training projects, hosting events, and planning our first HQ; our home for performance, community, and brand experience.

We’re growing with intention, aiming to impact more athletes and build a brand that stands for something real

But no matter how far we go, our mission stays the same:

To help people unlock their athletic potential through community, consistency, and performance-driven design.


Join the Movement

This is just the start.

Whether you're training, racing, recovering or starting again; Layer is here to support your journey.
