Adelaide, South Australia
In October 2013, The Running Company – Adelaide was launched. Founder Chris Chapman was born and raised in Adelaide and it was time for him to return home. He wanted to be closer to his family whom were all still in Adelaide but also saw a massive opportunity to bring everything that The Running Company is to Adelaide, no other store was or is doing what The Running Company do in his hometown.
Managed by Reece Taylor whom not only is a runner but former long time personal trainer and with an outstanding team of runners at the helm, from track, trail or tri, we have a deep pool of knowledge within the team that’ll help you make the right decision on anything and everything from footwear, which gel tastes the best or which trail pack will hold what you need for your event coming up.
Being the sole Salomon S-Lab dealer in South Australia, we’ve got the knowledge and the products to help bring the best out in you and help you achieve your goals and keep you injury free.

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.
Reece Taylor
Reece started running fun runs in primary school with his Dad, then moved into cross country and has continued to be surrounded by sport and exercise, in multiple forms since then, including soccer, tennis, cricket and cycling. Reece qualified as a personal trainer almost ten years ago and has a passion for body mechanics and helping people get active and stay fit. Although Reece took a hiatus from running, concentrating on his cycling and most recently mountain bike racing, he has been bitten by the bug again, brought on by the challenge to beat his father’s previous sub 3-hr marathon time. He is now clocking the kms on trails and the roads in order to conquer this challenge.
1. Favourite run
a) Parkrun – all of them
b) Running aimlessly in the many kms of trails around Adelaide
2. Best Running Moment
At the new Semaphore Coastal Marathon fundraiser event, the course was designed as an up and back 10km loop. Seeing all the runners countless times and shouting mutual encouragement made it a fun, entertaining day.
3. What do you love about running?
The running community, the support, encouragement and motivation I find at every event or training run.
