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.

Sometimes your legs just need a break. The new Glycerin Max 2 uses nitrogen-infused foam to soak up the road. It offers a soft, bouncy ride that protects your feet on long runs or recovery days. The shape of the sole rolls you forward, making each step feel easier. Keep your legs fresh for tomorrow.

February isn’t just about loving someone else.
It’s about choosing yourself, too.
Self-love isn’t selfish.
It’s choosing to move your body.
It’s taking care of your physical health so your mental health has a place to land.
It’s showing up for yourself, even on the days it’s hard.
That’s why this February we’re inviting you to slow down, be intentional, and invest in you.
Our Runaround Self-Care Bingo is a simple reminder that small choices add up! Whether that’s a short walk, a stretch, trying something new, or finally prioritizing how your body feels day to day. No pressure. No perfection. Just progress.
From February 1–14, complete activities on the card, get five in a row, and bring it back to the store to be entered to win a Self-Love Care Kit. More importantly, you’ll be building habits that support your long-term health and well-being.
You’ll see this theme show up a lot this year, because investing in yourself isn’t a one-time thing. It’s a lifelong commitment, and it matters.
Grab a card in store or follow along with us.
Choose movement. Choose care. Choose yourself.
Without the love, it’s just shoes.
#RunaroundSelfLove
We are bringing the community together this St. Patrick’s Day. Join us downtown for a 5k that costs nothing to enter but means everything to local families. In place of a fee, we suggest a donation to the Ronald McDonald House of the Four States. Just $20 covers a two-night stay for a family needing to be near their sick child. Walkers, runners, and families are all welcome.
If you’ve been shopping with us for the last 16 years, you’ve probably met the real boss around here.
Today, Beckett turns 12.
From growing up in the shop to helping out behind the scenes, he’s been part of this place since his day one.
Help us wish the boss man a very happy birthday.
We’re building out our Runaround Candy Shop, but with a purpose.
If you’re active, you already know this..
Fuel matters. Taste matters. Convenience matters.
So we added nutrition brands that actually get used and not stuff that lives at the bottom of a pack.
Here’s how we think about it:
Dry Brew = our Tootsie Roll
A quick caffeine option in a single bite. Clean energy, no liquid, no mess. Easy before a run, workout, or long day.
7 Summits Snacks = our chocolate bar
Real ingredients and endurance-focused calories. Steady fuel you can rely on when you’re moving longer or need something that lasts.
noogs = our Sour Patch Kids
Fast carbs with a sour-sweet flavor that’s easy to chew while active. Great for workouts, runs, or anytime you need quick energy.
SaltStick = our Sweet Tarts
Simple, effective electrolytes that help support hydration and reduce the risk of cramping.
We didn’t choose these because they’re trendy. We chose them because they solve real problems for active people and because if it doesn’t taste good, you won’t use it.
This is just the beginning of what we’re building in-store. Stop by, try something new, and let us help you fuel smarter.

We are OPEN today from 10-6am.
We’ve got most of the parking lot cleared off and the north entrance is clear and open! We will keep the Main Street entrance closed until all the snow clears, so please use parking lot and side entrance.
It’s cold, but hopefully you’re able to get out of the house to enjoy a snow day!
**UPDATE** we are closing at 2pm. Stay warm! 🥶
We are open today from 10–5 as scheduled.
We’ll continue to monitor the weather closely, and if conditions worsen, we may need to close early for the safety of our staff and customers. Any updates will be shared here.
Please travel safely, and thanks as always for your understanding and support of local.
Meet our newest employee, Kayla! Born & raised in San Antonio TX. She’s new to Joplin MO and now a part of The Run Around team. She loves supporting people through personalized fittings and help cultivate a welcoming, connected run/walk community.
Kayla enjoys helping people feel confident, supported and excited about their choice in movement. Whether they’re chasing goals or simply moving for their mental health. She’s passionate about creating events and spaces that make movement feel accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
For her running is grounding and about celebrating progress in all forms. When she’s not at the shop, you’ll find her running easy miles, exploring new places, or capturing life through my photography.
Looking forward to many miles and moments together!
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.
Tomorrow night. 6–8 PM.
