These are running shorts I used to wear. They are a little below the knee in length. The pockets on both sides have zippers, so you don't have to worry about things falling out while running. Please note that the hem was originally flat, but I've altered it by adding elastic because it would catch on my knees. Please be aware of this. They are easy to wear, but I don't run anymore, so please feel free to use them if you'd like.
