After years of the daily
“Do you have this in a different color?” conversation…
We’ve decided to solve the problem once and for all.
Starting today, we will only be carrying one color option… All white!
That’s it. No more color decisions and unnecessary stress..
Why?
Because now… you’re in charge.
Sharpies.
Paint.
Tie-dye.
Bedazzle them.
Add charms. Do your thing.
Want color? Create it.
Problem solved.

Be on the look out for more exciting news and updates regarding the Runaround Relays!
This has become one of our favorite times of the year.
What started as an idea a few years ago has turned into something our family truly looks forward to each year.
There’s just something special about seeing our community show up, get active, and rally around a cause bigger than all of us.
We’ve always believed in the importance of family, and this race is our way of supporting the families served by Ronald McDonald House.
Because of this community your support, your energy, your generosity we’re able to be part of something that truly makes a difference.
We’re incredibly grateful for each and every one of you.
This is why we do it.
Runaround is proud to host the annual St. Patrick’s Day 5K benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Four States and presented by Tamko Building Products.
Because of the incredible support from our community, we made the decision to keep this race completely free to participate so that every dollar donated can go directly to the House and the families they serve.
This event exists because of a community that shows up, supports local organizations and businesses, and believes in helping neighbors when they need it most. We’re grateful to play a small role in bringing everyone together for such a meaningful cause.
Thank you to everyone running, walking, volunteering, and supporting the House this weekend.
New apparel just hit the floor at the runaround 🤝 and yes… it’s GOOD.
We’ve stocked up on fresh women’s + men’s pieces from lululemon + vuori so you can head into your next run, walk, jog, workout, or rest day feeling comfortable, confident, and ready for movement.
When you shop local at the runaround you’re not just buying gear, you’re supporting local runners, local events, and a small business that pours back into the Joplin community. PLUS you get to try everything on, ask for recommendations, and find pieces that actually work for YOUR training or lifestyle.
stop by, see what’s new, and find your next favorite outfit 🏃♀️🏃♂️ #therunaround #shoplocaljoplin #runaround #lululemon #vuori
Self love looks like showing up. ✔️
This month at The Run Around we’re celebrating Valentine’s with our Self-Care Bingo. Our intention is to blend movement, community, and mindful moments on and off the run.
Pick up your card in store, complete your squares, and turn it in for a chance to win a self-love care kit. 💌 #runaround #shoplocal #joplin #valentines #selflove
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.
Rainy days don’t have to slow you down. Keep moving, stay motivated, and swing by Runaround to gear up with the perfect shoes and apparel for any weather!
