Your Local Running Shoe Store in Canberra

Welcome to The Running Company Canberra — a purpose-built running specialty store created for runners, walkers, and movers of all levels. From your very first jog to marathon training blocks and everyday walking comfort, we’re here to help you move better, feel stronger, and enjoy every step.

Located in Canberra, our store brings together expert fitting, premium running shoe brands, and genuine local knowledge — all under one roof.

Founded by Runners, Built for the Canberra Community

The Running Company Canberra is led by Chris and Julian, lifelong runners with a combined 30 years of experience fitting running shoes. Thirteen years ago, they floated the idea of opening an iconic running store in Canberra — a space that truly served the local running community.

Today, that idea becomes reality.

Their shared vision was simple: create a running store where expertise, trust, and community come first. A place where advice is honest, fittings are precise, and every customer feels supported — whether they’re chasing a PB or just looking for a comfortable everyday shoe.

We’re Here for Everybody

At The Running Company Canberra, there’s no such thing as a “typical” runner.

We proudly fit:

• First-time runners taking their first steps into the sport

• Experienced runners training for races, events, or personal goals

• Walkers looking for all-day comfort, support, and durability

• Customers managing injuries or niggles who need the right shoe for their body and movement

No matter where you’re starting from, our team meets you where you are.

Expert Running Shoe Fitting in Canberra

Our reputation is built on expert shoe fitting. Every fitting at The Running Company Canberra is personalised, thorough, and pressure-free.

We take the time to understand:

• Your running or walking goals

• Your training history and injury background

• How your feet move and load

• What you’ve worn before — and what has or hasn’t worked

From there, we guide you through carefully selected options that suit you, not just what’s trending.

Premium Running Shoe Brands You Trust

We stock a curated range of the world’s leading running and walking shoe brands, chosen for performance, comfort, and reliability. Our range is designed to cover everything from daily trainers and cushioned cruisers to stability options and lightweight performance shoes.

Because we’re independent specialists, our recommendations are based on what works best for you, not brand quotas.

More Than a Running Store

The Running Company Canberra is more than just a place to buy shoes.

It’s a hub for:

• Community connection

• Trusted advice

• Education around footwear and injury prevention

• Long-term support throughout your running or walking journey

We believe that the right shoe can change how you move — and how you feel.
