About
At Road Runner Sports, our customers face the challenge of finding the perfect footwear and gear to support their active lifestyles, whether they are seasoned marathoners or just starting their running journey. With over 40 years of experience, we have dedicated ourselves to providing every customer with a tailored and personalized shopping experience. Our founder, Mike G., started this family business back in 1983 in a garage in San Diego, with the mission to help every runner find their best fit. Today, we continue that commitment as the world’s largest running and walking store, offering a vast selection of top brands and innovative shoe-fitting technology. We understand that shopping for running shoes can be overwhelming with so many options, which is why we've created the Perfect Fit Zone. It allows our customers to discover their ideal shoes in just 3 minutes, ensuring they leave with confidence and satisfaction. We also prioritize giving back to the community, having donated over $2 million to help children with disabilities through our initiative, Athletes Helping Athletes. By joining our VIP Family, our customers enjoy exclusive rewards, savings, and the assurance of a 90-day perfect fit guarantee. We invite you to be part of our mission to empower every runner while building a supportive community that makes every mile count.
