running gear

Marathoner's clothing ensemble

Running gear refers to the parts of a vehicle or machine that enable movement—wheels, axles, and related components.

For automobiles, it includes the drivetrain, suspension, and steering mechanisms.

On ships, running gear means the ropes and rigging used to operate sails.

The term also describes athletic clothing and footwear worn for running: She picked up some new running gear for the marathon.
