This is an amazing running stroller. I have been doing triathlons for a little over 5 years and my wife and I just had our first child. The only way to maintain 15 hrs a week of running, biking, and swimming is to take the little guy with me sometimes. This stroller delivers everything. It is easy to put together (5 mins max), intuitive to collapse and stow, very small and light weight, and has the option of both locking the front wheel or allowing it to swivel. This option is nice because at slow speeds (10min/mile or slower) or just in using the stroller for everyday transport you can leave the wheel unlocked and it makes maneuvering the stroller very easy. On the other hand the locking wheel is a MUST for a serious runner. You probably shouldn't be running anything faster than 8min/mile without a locking wheel. There is a small adjustment knob for the locking wheel in case you find it drifts to either side. This wasn't quite as easy to work with and I found that it required a "practice run" to get it adjusted just right. I highly suggest taking this stroller out on a recovery day and getting used to it and making sure you're front wheel is adjusted perfectly when locked.
Finally compared with the BOB Revolution this stroller is slightly better (in my opinion) and cheaper. No other running stroller out there comes close to either the BOB or the Thule making the Thule a slightly better option due to cost.
The last comparison I would even consider making is the Thule glide to the Thule Urban Glide. The Thule Glide is basically the same with the major difference of having a fixed wheel (no swivel) which limits it to use as only a running stroller.
Overall I am highly satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this to ALL types of runners, joggers, or walkers.

Walk, Jog, or Run: This Stroller is Perfect!
I can't say enough good things about the Thule Urban Glide. DISCLAIMER: The Thule is the only jogging stroller I've ever used, so I have nothing else to compare it to.The stroller handles marvelously! I live in NYC and I can maneuver around busy streets seamlessly. I prefer this stroller to both my standard and umbrella stroller. If if wasn't so large I'd take it everywhere. I wouldn't recommend this for walking around malls, but while it is wide, it's NOT heavy. Overall, super smooth ride, great with all terrain, feels effortless to push. Love the adjustable handle for me who's 5'2 and my husband who's 6'1. The storage unit is large and very secure. The canopy is great and provides excellent coverage. My little one loves it and the cushiony seat.This biggest question to ask yourself before buying this product is will you get use out of it: If you want a stroller for moving around wether it be on a walk, jog, or run this is the stroller to have. After the birth of my first child, I wanted an active lifestyle without being away from my baby. A jogging stroller was my investment over a gym membership. I was able to go on walks and jogs in the park with my little one in tow. She's 8 months now and always falls asleep in the stroller!One downside is that the accessories are not included and pricey. Despite that fact I have both the car seat adapter and rain cover and they are both made of superb quality. I used the rain cover during a terrible downpour and my baby was dry and blissfully asleep the entire time!It's well worth the price! MUST BUY! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

We own a 5+ year old Chariot CX1, which is excellent, I was expecting the same here - Not So!
- From new the plastic wheels were out of true with a noticeable wobble, one is particularly bad.
Around the 1 year mark:
- The strap that allows you to raise and lower the back came away from the frame. (Temp fix with a zip tie in the photo)
- One of the metal hoops in the sun shade/cover broke through the fabric and now protrudes within reach of my 1 year old. This is dangerous and has been removed - now the sunshade doesn't function correctly.
- The blue buttons on the wheels that allow the wheel to be removed keep falling off. Have now removed them so they don't get lost exposing the bolt heads.
We look after our belongings, including this stroller, and are severely disappointed. We had a Mountain Buggy Urban double for 4 years for our twins that performed flawlessly. This Thule product is absolutely appalling in design and construction. Look at a Bob or a Mountain Buggy or, quite frankly, anything else instead.
