The Runners Shop in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia | Sports Shop

The Runners Shop in Canberra, New South Wales, was established in 1990 and is now widely regarded as one of, if not the best running and triathlon specialist store in Australia.
The Runners Shop is much more than just a retail outlet, we are the centre of running in Canberra, New South Wales. In addition to having a tremendous range of shoes apparel and accessories, we provide an information centre with entry forms, calendars, newsletters and publications.
The Runners Shop has close ties with the Canberra sports medicine community and regularly exchange views on running issues in general and new developments in running shoes in particular with doctors, physiotherapists and podiatrists. We even conduct our own independent testing on new shoe models.
As part of our philosophy of encouraging people to participate in junior, senior and veteran running, triathlon, orienteering and Little Athletics events, we sponsor virtually every event held in Canberra and also provide financial support to the clubs organising and participating in these events.
The Runner Shop has staff who are seasoned runners with many years of competition behind them (and hopefully still in front of them). Brian Wenn the owner is also a qualified distance coach and is often called upon to provide training hints. He also lectures on running shoes and has had several articles published in specialist magazines.
Our customers will often ring not only for advice on shoes, but a range of other running topics. We are continually promoting this aspect of our business.
