Product Insights

The Tornhill 3" Split Marathon Short from Balmoral is a performance running short built for marathon distances, featuring a 3-inch split cut and side slits that eliminate leg-opening restriction for full stride freedom and reduce fabric drag over ~45,000 steps. Its built-in liner anchored at the waistband uses smooth microfibre to prevent ride-up and friction, while the micro-perforated 115gsm shell vents heat, dries fast, and blocks 98%+ UV, reducing chafing risk and reliance on sunscreen. Made from Italian-milled 85% recycled polyester/15% spandex, the short offers 4-way stretch, a drawcord, and XS–M sizing, but is currently out of stock at its closeout price of 29.95 CAD, matching the UPF 50+ of $85 Tracksmith shorts.

Verified claims

Stride freedom
3-inch split cut eliminates leg-opening restriction for full stride freedom.
Drag reduction
Reduces fabric drag over ~45,000 marathon steps for marginal gains.
Chafing prevention
Side slits and a waistband-attached liner keep the inner-thigh area clear of overlapping fabric, reducing chafing risk on long runs.
Liner
Built-in liner anchored at the waistband uses smooth microfibre to resist ride-up and reduce friction.
Ventilation
Micro-perforated 115gsm shell vents heat and dries quickly after a sweat-soaked interval or aid-station dousing, reducing chafing risk.
Fit
4-way stretch and an internal drawcord reduce waistband gaping and sliding during running, especially when sizing down in the unisex cut.
Breathability
Micro-perforated 115gsm fabric and side slits promote airflow and cooling.
Moisture wicking
Microfibre jersey lining wicks sweat and its smooth surface reduces friction that leads to chafing.
UV protection
Blocks 98%+ UV in a 115gsm perforated fabric.
Value
Matches $85 Tracksmith shorts' UPF 50+ for 29.95 CAD.
Training benefit
Reduces sunscreen reliance for peak-sun training.
Material
Italian-milled 85% recycled polyester/15% spandex in a micro-perforated 115GSM fabric.
Manufacturing
Balmoral names Canadian facility i.FiV5 for small-batch quality and durability.
Environmental footprint
Recycled polyester uses 45-85% less energy and emits 30-60% less CO₂ than virgin.
Sourcing
Italian-milled recycled fabric, Canadian assembly; $29.95 closeout price.
Sizing
Available XS–M; drawcord and 4-way stretch adjust fit for narrow waists and wider hips.
Mobility
115gsm fabric and 3 side-slit inseam prevent restriction during a full stride.
Recycled content source
The recycled polyester is made from post-consumer PET bottles rather than textile waste, diverting single-use plastic from landfills.
Petroleum avoidance
Using recycled polyester eliminates petroleum as a raw material, avoiding the crude oil input required for virgin polyester.
Production standards
Made in Canada means the shorts are produced under federal labor and environmental regulations, which supports stitch consistency and durability.
