Celebrating The Best

A night of celebration honors the Best Running Stores in America.

After three full days of education, exhibits and networking, The Running Event 2021 closed on Thursday, Dec. 2, with an appropriately festive evening honoring The Best Running Stores. Highlighting the evening was the announcement of Charlotte Running Company as the 2021 Store of the Year. Also receiving special recognition were the three other finalists for the prestigious annual award — Fleet Feet Montclair, John’s Run/Walk and Run Hub Northwest. All of the finalists are profiled in these following pages, allowing them to tell the industry in their own words what makes them the best — and what this award means to them.
