San Jose, CA (1888PressRelease) January 20, 2022 - Road Runner Sports, a specialty running, walking and fitness retailer, opens its newest retail location at 301 W McKinley Ave #130, Sunnyvale, CA 94086. This is the first running specialty store to open in Sunnyvale, and will feature the community’s only digital foot scanner and running shoe fitting system, plus roughly 4,000 square feet of retail space. Road Runner Sports Sunnyvale is slated for soft open on Jan. 21, 2022, and will be the retailer’s 41st brick and mortar in the U.S.

Road Runner Sports specializes in The Perfect Fit Zone, a revolutionary fit analysis using a 3D scan of the foot paired with treadmill testing of one’s foot mechanics to produce customized insoles and helps you find the perfect fitting shoe. Road Runner Sports is one of the largest running specialty retailers in the country, offering a vast selection of running shoes, accessories and apparel, including its own in-house athletic apparel brands R-Gear and KORSA.

“We’re proud and humbled to call Sunnyvale our new home,” said Road Runner Sports Director of Customer Acquisition Sean Peterson. “We strive to provide accessible premium running gear combined with the perfect fitting shoe tailored for every runner.”

To kick off its soft open, Road Runner Sports partners with Project Sole to help achieve its mission of ‘Give compassion and a pair of shoes’ to impoverished communities. In addition, for every used or unwanted shoe brought to Road Runner Sports Sunnyvale, Project Sole will donate $3 to Athletes Helping Athletes (AHA), a nonprofit founded by Road Runner Sports to provide free adaptive bikes to children with permanent physical disabilities.

Since its inception in 2000, AHA has awarded 1,520 adaptive bikes. Last year, the charity changed the lives of 54 children. This year, AHA has gifted adaptive bikes to three families so far, and is looking to award five more local recipients this spring. To apply, click here.
