You MUST Follow these Running Instagram Accounts. Check out this top 21 List of the Best Runners to Follow on Instagram for Running Tips, Inspiration, Motivation and more!

This list is a great mix of professional runners, new runners, running companies, funny memes and more. And I made it super easy to follow them in list format or from my @RunEatRepeat IG post tagging them.

PLUS – there are a few new Instagram accounts that are focused on diversity and sharing running stories of minority runners. I’ve been following them since I discovered these new handles and think they’ll continue to grow and share great posts.

Note: Skinny Runner is no longer on Instagram linked to her running blog SkinnerRunner.com or @SkinnyRunner insta handle. She stopped blogging and posting on Instagram under that name a long time ago – but I still get a lot of searches on this site and questions about her. She’s alive and well, but prefers to be private for now.
