Classic Cut
The inspiration for the Van Cortlandt Grand Shorts came from a pair of team-issued women’s track shorts from our founder’s vintage archives. The key to this silhouette is the arced hemline at the sides, which ensures a full range of motion even in a longer inseam.

Classic Performance
These shorts are designed with a relaxed 4” inseam silhouette and a channeled drawstring waistband. Unlike the original Van Cortlandt Shorts, these tout a roomier rise to offer an easier fit with more coverage.
Liner Notes
The shorts feature a lightweight liner in the same antimicrobial mesh as the body. Two pockets for keys, credit cards, or gels sit at the back interior of the waistband.
A Mesh with Merit
The 2:09 Mesh came to be, not only for its soft and airy texture, but also for its antimicrobial properties. With the funk-free finish, the shorts are built to battle bacteria.
A Matter of Mesh
When “Boston Billy” Rodgers won the Boston Marathon in 1975, setting his first American Record at 2:09:55, he famously did so in a mesh tee he found in the trash. Inspired by his legendary triumph, we scoured the earth for the very finest performance mesh to use across our Van Cortlandt Collection. Astonishingly lightweight and antimicrobial with a luxurious feel, you won’t find anything like our 2:09 Mesh in a dumpster.
Shorts Guide
Our shorts collection is crafted to cover the full breadth of a training cycle from easy shakeouts to race day. We broke this list out by the short’s design intention so that you may find the best pair for your specific needs.

Quality from
the Inside Out
A running short is only as good as its liner. So we built these from the inside out, using the same near-weightless, anti-stink 2:09 Mesh as the rest of the short. It's stitched with three separate panels for a more considered, comfortable fit. We finished the liner with two small pockets below the back waistband for stowing keys or credit cards.
Refined Details
Like the original Van Cortlandt Shorts, the details of the Grand are designed with functionality in mind - just with more coverage. The 4” inseam and roomier mid-rise offers added length without sacrificing any freedom of movement. The short also features an antimicrobial liner, elasticated drawstring waistband and internal pockets in the back.
