Road Runner Sports sells running and walking shoes, apparel and gear online and through 53 US stores, and it has been around since 1983.
Nearly every saving here runs through VIP Family Rewards, a paid membership that brings free Ground shipping, 10% instant savings and longer returns, while non-members pay for every shipment.
Road Runner Sports began in a small San Diego garage, started by founder Mike G., known as the "Chief Runner", and it remains a family business: his son Mike Gotfredson Jr is president, and another son, Mark, handles business development. The company describes itself as the biggest store anywhere for runners and walkers, and it stocks brands such as Brooks, ASICS, HOKA, On, New Balance, Saucony, Altra, Nike and Mizuno, along with its own KORSA apparel, custom insoles, nutrition and recovery gear.
Fitting sits at the center of how it sells. An online Virtual Perfect Fit Finder takes about 3 minutes, stores use in-person fitting technology, and Shoe Force offers mobile fittings. Its charity, Athletes Helping Athletes, has donated more than 1,580 custom handcycles to children with disabilities.
