Happy New Year!
A new year usually comes with big goals, big plans, and a lot of pressure to “get it right.”
We’re not really about that.
This year, we’re more interested in movement.
Trying new things.
Showing up.
Getting a little uncomfortable.
Learning as you go.
Because here’s what we’ve learned over the last 15 years:
The more you Runaround, the more you find out.
You find out what you’re capable of.
You find out what works for your body.
You find out that the right shoes, the right people, and the right environment make a bigger difference than you thought.
So in 2026, don’t overthink it.
Runaround a little.
Walk more.
Join the group run.
Come in and ask questions.
Be curious.
We think you’ll like what you find out.
Here’s to a year of movement, community, and doing things a little differently.
Happy New Year from all of us at Runaround.
A customer recently told us, “Christmas doesn’t start until I come into Runaround.”
That meant more to us than they’ll ever know.
Thank you for letting us be part of your holiday traditions.
Here are our holiday hours—we’d love to see you.
Tomorrow night. 6–8 PM.
Sip & Shop in the store with progressive apparel savings on Lululemon and Vuori.
The more you build an outfit, the better it gets.
In-store only. One night.
Join us this Friday for a Sip & Shop! Store will be open after hours with amazing deals, hot coco, and permanent jewelry. We hope you’ll join us!
We still have way too many Olukais! Also newly marked down Blundstones and Arizona Evas. Stop by and grab a pair (or 5) today!
Started with 300 pairs of Olukais! Stop by to get a pair today, only $60! We want them all gone by Saturday so tell friends and family that this is a great opportunity to get great products at a great price!
We’re making room for what’s next. Starting tomorrow, every pair of OluKai in the store is marked down to $60, no matter the original price. We’re phasing out the brand and want to get these pairs into the hands of customers who will actually use them rather than letting them sit on our wall through year end.
Sizes are limited and when they’re gone, they’re gone. This is a great chance to save on a premium brand at a price we normally never offer.
We may be adding a few other brands to this clean-out as we reset for the new year, so if you’ve been waiting for the right time to stop in, this is it.
From our family to yours, Happy Holidays.
As we wrap up the year, we can’t help but look back with a whole lot of gratitude. Fifteen years in this community is something we don’t take lightly. You’ve allowed us to raise our kids here, build our business here, and be part of something much bigger than just a running store.
Thank you for supporting us, believing in us, and letting us serve you over all these years. Whether you’ve trusted us with a fitting, shared a story at the counter, brought a friend in, or simply walked through our doors it has meant more than you know.
We love this community. We love calling Joplin home. And we’re proud to be a one-of-a-kind local business that gets to show up for you every day.
Here’s to a joyful holiday season, a strong finish to the year, and many more miles (and memories) together in 2026.
Thank you for being part of our story — and for letting us be part of yours.
Happy Holidays,
The Bartlett Family
When you shop local, something meaningful happens.
For every $100 spent at a local business, up to $68 stays in the community. When it’s spent online? Almost none of it does.
But the impact goes beyond the dollars.
Shopping local supports real people — not algorithms. It helps families pay bills, keeps storefronts alive, strengthens neighborhoods, and preserves the character of our city.
It funds the small things that actually make a place feel like home:
• Youth programs
• Community events
• Local charities
• Jobs for your neighbors
• Spaces where people feel known and welcomed
Small Business Saturday isn’t about shopping. It’s about choosing to invest in the community you live in.
Thank you for showing up for local.
Thank you for showing up for Joplin.
We’re excited for Black Friday — but some of our best offers can’t be posted online due to certain guidelines.
So here’s what we can say:
The in-store deals this weekend are worth the visit.
Come see what’s new, what’s on sale, and let our team get you dialed in for winter miles and gifts for the whole family.
Black Friday. 10 AM.
Happy Thanksgiving from Runaround.
Days like today remind us why we do what we do. We’re thankful for this community – for the runners, walkers, families, first-timers, and longtime friends who continue to choose us on their journey. Every person who shows up, whether it’s for a race, a fitting, a conversation, or just to say hi… you’re the reason we exist.
We’re thankful for the early mornings, the start lines, the finish lines, and every mile in between. For the stories we hear every day.
For the kids who outgrow shoes faster than we can stock them. For the adults who decide today is the day they start moving again. For the athletes chasing PRs and the people just chasing a healthier life.
We’re thankful for a team that shows up with heart — even on the long days (and yes, Turkey Trot morning counts as a very long one). They give everything they have to make sure your experience is more than just a transaction.
Most of all, we’re thankful that after 15 years, this community still trusts us. That means everything.
Hope you all enjoyed the day. Ate well, rested, laughed hard… and if you ran this morning: go ahead and add an extra slice of pie. You earned it.
Without the love, it’s just shoes.
Thank you for being part of the Runaround family.
— The Runaround Team
As we head into the holiday season, a quick reminder about supporting local:
Buying local isn’t just what we have on the shelf. Buying local also includes ordering local.
If you’re looking for a specific shoe, color, size, or style and it’s not in store, we can order it for you—same price, same timeline, and the same support you’d get if it were already on the wall.
You still get to keep your dollars in the community, and you still walk away with exactly what you want. We can ship to your home, text you tracking updates, or notify you as soon as it arrives for pickup.
So as you plan your gifting, restocking, and year-end miles, remember:
Local shopping doesn’t stop at the shelf.
Sometimes it just starts with an order.
We appreciate you choosing to support local businesses this season.
