Best Running Stores

Recognizing the Best in the Business

The Best Running Stores awards program celebrates the stores leading by example in the run specialty industry—the retailers who continually show their commitment to their customers, employees, and community. Leaders among their peers, these stores are always striving to create a stronger industry.
Following a thorough evaluation and secret shop process, winners will be selected, notified, and announced publicly this July; the Store of the Year will be revealed live during the November 21 reception at TRE. All winning stores will receive two free passes to TRE, which include accommodations at a host hotel.
Industry professionals, brands, customers, and store employees are encouraged to submit a nomination. Nominations must be submitted by Thursday, March 21.

“Every year, we see how important this program is not only to run specialty retailers, but to the entire industry. The positive impact these stores make go far beyond the world of run specialty, and they deserve to be recognized and celebrated for the progress, innovation, and community they create.”
Christina Henderson
Event Director, The Running Event
