Personal preference: Vigorous exercise where the scrotum is moving can be very uncomfortable for some men. It is a personal preference whether to wear a supportive undergarment or not. If you are experiencing discomfort with the movement of your scrotum during running or jogging, wear a supportive garment to limit the movement and discomfort.
