Adelaide, South Australia
Make an appointment on Facebook
In October 2013, The Running Company – Adelaide was launched. Founder Chris Chapman was born and raised in Adelaide and after opening the first store in Sydney, he felt the tug to come home to Adelaide, be closer to his family whom were all still in Adelaide.
There was a massive opportunity to bring everything that The Running Company is to Adelaide, no other store was or still is doing what The Running Company do in his hometown.
It was a success from day 1.
All the staff at The Running Company – Adelaide have amazing backgrounds in running, triathlon, trail but moreso their level of knowledge around running injuries, physio and sportsmed are second to none, all with no ego as it’s not about us, it’s about each and every person whom walks in the front door. Whether you walk or run 100 miles, we can help you make the right footwear, apparel, nutrition and trail gear choices to help you achieve your goals.

Appointments First.

You can book on our Facebook Page here and we still do accept walk ins but will prioritise our clients whom book in first and there may be some wait.
Thank you all for your support and understanding, it’s very much appreciated.

Running Club
The Running Company – Adelaide Running Club is completely free. It is also a great opportunity to keep fit and meet new people.
When
We’re on hold at the moment and will return in the very near future, if you’re in the area or would like to meet some new people, you’re more than welcome to visit the South Adelaide store for their weekly run club, see their page for details.
Where
Shop 3/278a Unley Road Hyde Park 5061
The Route
We try to vary it every week but it’s usually around 8-10km at varying paces so inclusive for people of all abilities as opposed to exclusive and only for fast runners. We upload the route to Facebook on Monday or Tuesday of every week.
Meet the Team
Chris Chapman, Founder The Running Company
Chris (Chicken as he is more affectionately referred to – it’s all in the legs!) is the founder of The Running Company. Hailing from South Australia, Chris has over 20 years experience in the sporting goods industry, close to nine of those years with Nike. Across various roles, from retail in London, to footwear marketing in Melbourne, then onto EKIN and National Sales both based in Sydney. A combination of a love for great product, being a runner and just a care for wanting to help people make the best footwear decisions to stay injury free is what drives him.
1. Favourite run
Yurrebilla Trail run.
2. Best Running Moment
a) Helping my good friend Lucy smash her goal of sub-4 hour marathon in Melbourne.
b) Winning my hometown marathon in 2006.
3. What do you love about running?
It doesn’t matter how much money you have, what your surname is, what you look like or how popular you may be, running is the ultimate leveller. At the 38kM mark of a marathon, all that bullsh*t goes out the window and it’s at that point that a person’s true humility and personality come shining through – that’s what I love about running. It’s true, raw honesty.

CIELE ATHLETICS.
•
Re-stocked and more important than ever. Caps keep your head warm and the rain off your face. Ciele caps are super comfortable, lightweight, soft and look sick!
•
They won’t last long, so grab them while you can!
Restocked!
If you checked and we sold out of your size this morning we have a little restock back online.
These are as rare as hens teeth and will put a smile on your dial, especially when it’s pouring rain and howling wind!
Giddy up!

Thanks to all our amazing family, friends and supporters of our small business around Australia and OS.
It’s been a crazy time but South Aussies have handled this amazingly well 👊.
It’s made me so proud to see how many of us are getting out, getting fit and respecting each other and supporting each others small businesses, even if it’s for a coffee you ordinarily wouldn’t get, if we all look out for one another like we have been, we’ll continue to thrive!
Giddy up!

In times like these, running is the answer. But what about your shoes?

Remember that the more you run, the more chocolate you can eat 💁🏻♂️🥳 #runyourworld
If you’re after something super soft and versatile, this could be your shoe! Asics Gel-Nimbus Lite comes in roughly 40g lighter than the regular Nimbus 22. FlyteFoam midsole, Gel front and back but with a full ground contact outsole. Enough guts for the long runs but light enough for when you put your foot down.

We’re still running and you should be too! Pop in and check if out!

Hi to all our amazing friends and family of The Running Company.
Due to the roller coaster ride we all currently find ourselves on, we want to continue to help each and every single person the very best we can and respect their health (as always!). Please when you come to either the Adelaide or South Adelaide store note our operating hours are still the same but we’ve further enacted social distancing rules to again ensure everyone’s physical and mental health in this unique point in time.
Please - Only 2 customers and a maximum of 3 staff in the store at any one time - any friends or family members must remain outside (and get some fresh air, the smell of Glen 20 is ever present!) - Card only, No Cash - 2 store benches are set up so each client has maximum distance and comfort from other clients - all cleaning and hygiene protocols are enacted pre and post each client , it’s nothing personal! Finally our amazing staff are all fit, healthy and happy and we are so fortunate to have had so much amazing support, we will always continue to pay this back ten fold in helping keep each and every friend of The Running Company, moving, enjoying what they love and staying physically and mentally strong. By respecting each other and using this opportunity to get back in touch with friend, family and ourselves, we’ll all come out the other end better people for it.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Chicken, Megan, George, Aidan (Chicken Family!) Max, Byron, Caitlin, Ethan, Angela, Matty and Issac.
Nike Trail lives here.

Performance clothing designed specifically for the trails. Lightweight, seamless and just the right blend of cotton and recycled polyester to keep you dry, cool and comfortable.

While you’re here, check out the new Wildhorse 6 which now has a React midsole, a more aggressive outsole and a new heel collar for added support and protection. Terra Kiger 6 builds on the success of the 5, with an upper designed to keep mud, muck and moisture out.

The health and wellbeing of our customers is central to our business - it’s the reason we opened our first store 10 years ago!
We feel that when someone walks into our Adelaide store that they’re walking into our home and we want to make sure that we do all we can to make you feel comfortable.
As such, please note the following procedures in place in EVERY The Running Company store nationally.
Upon entry you will have been greeted with a door handle which has been cleaned with every person walking in and out of the store.
Our staff members will be sanitising their hands before and after each consult.
Before and after each client the treadmill and seating will be sanitised and cleaned.
The front desk and eftpos machine will be cleaned after each client has left the store.
Of course your favourite shoes / pack / socks are only a phone call away with Australia Post Express Post next day delivery helping to keep us moving!
We thank our amazing running community for their outstanding support and are here for you at a time when running and movement is the one constant we can be sure of.
Stay positive, stay strong, keep moving!
Yours in running,
Chicken, Byron, Ethan, Max and the rest of the team!
