The Running Place started with a simple mantra: be welcoming to all. It was something Pattie Bucaccio and Joan Osborne — our founders as well as runners themselves — had felt was not really being embraced by the running industry as a whole. They wanted to offer a place for all people to get the best footwear and apparel on the market, not just experienced runners. It’s a mindset we carry on today. We are here to serve teachers and nurses and workers who spend a lot of time on their feet just as much as we are for runners training for a race.
