Monday Night Run and Walks are Back
On Monday nights, rain or shine, as many as 30-40 runners and walkers gather at The Running Place for a group run/walk. Choose from a 3-mile or 5-mile loop that meanders through the neighborhoods behind the store. All ages and paces are welcome. We depart promptly at 6:45 p.m. so come early! On holidays when the store is closed there is no group run; e.g. Labor Day or Memorial Day.

The Right Foot Forward Your Experience
At The Running Place, our goal is to ensure that you not only receive the right shoes, but also understand the reasons behind the choice. We provide free consultations, where we perform a gait analysis, inspect your worn out shoes for telling wear patterns, and talk with you about any injury history. All of this information helps us determine what shoe type is best for you.
Every journey begins with the first step. Before you take that first step, make sure you have the right shoes to get you where you are going. There are high arches, flat arches, and all heights in between. Some feet are rigid and some are flexible. There are different categories of shoes - different foot types are more comfortable and perform better in the right category. We will help you determine your foot type and which category best suits your needs.
