Help us pick the top 50 running shops in America by voting for your favorites.
What makes a great running shop? Yes, it’s one that correctly fits you into running shoes that match your foot shape and running gait, but it’s much more than that. Is it a shop that sponsors or organizes local races and backs local school programs? Or one with a cool local wall of fame? Or a treadmill and high-speed cameras for gait analysis? Or the one that has the best happy-hour fun runs?
In part, the top shops in America are the ones you — our reader and connoisseur of all things running — consider the best.
Each year, Competitor magazine and Running Insight® identify the 50 Best Running Stores in America®. It starts with runners nominating their favorite stores through www.competitor.com. Then those stores are put through a rigorous evaluation process, which includes mystery shopping to assess customer service, credit ratings from vendors and assessments about local programs and community commitment.
