Our Fit Process
Experience a personalized shoe fitting that goes beyond video gait analysis. At Runaround, we take a full-body approach—assessing strength, posture, and movement in addition to your foot mechanics. Our Currex fitting station and Peloton Treadmill help us tailor recommendations to your unique stride and comfort needs. First time visiting? Our process is quick, informative, and designed to help you feel confident every step of the way.

Back to school is right around the corner! Swing by and grab your Lululemon backpack or belt bag before the first bell rings!
This time of year always feels like a reset. Some of our team members head back to school or into new seasons of life, and we’re grateful for the time we’ve had with them.
But with that shift comes opportunity.
We’re looking to add someone new to the team. Not just to fill a shift—but to bring value. Someone who wants to be part of something meaningful, learn our industry, and help people in a way most retail jobs don’t even think about.
This is a place where we take the time to listen, to learn what’s going on in someone’s life, and to help them walk out the door feeling better—literally.
If you’re curious, detail-oriented, and enjoy connecting with people, this could be the start of something more than a job. We’ll teach you the rest.
Stop in and ask for an application—or message us if you want to talk more about what this role could look like.
We’re not hiring to fill a hole—we’re hiring because our community needs more people who care.
Check out our XC nutrition tips, then stop by the store to stock up for the season!

One of the things we’ve always loved is bringing in gear and brands you don’t usually find in Joplin. We try things. We take risks. And every now and then, we have to scale a few of them back.
We’ve had some really solid products that just didn’t get the traction we hoped for—so we’re making space for new ideas and fresh inventory we’re excited about.
This Saturday from 10–5, we’re clearing out the last of those pieces during our Sidewalk Sale. If you loved those brands or have been thinking about grabbing something before it’s gone, this is the time.
We appreciate the support more than you know—and we’ll keep doing our best to bring you the best gear with a purpose behind it.
Huge thank you to Danny @runspecialtyinsider and the team at @runninginsightmag for sharing our story. This recognition means a lot to us—and this photo captures exactly why.
It features one of our longtime loyal customers, and that’s what this journey has always been about: people, connection, and community.
To our staff—thank you for showing up every day with heart.
To our customers—thank you for believing in us for the last 15 years.
We wouldn’t be here without you.
Here’s to the next chapter of runaround!
Celebrating 15 years this Saturday and bringing back the annual sidewalk sale! 🥳
Open from 10am-5pm! See you then👏🏽⏰
