ABOUT US
The Running Edge is a locally owned business in Hobart, Tasmania and was established in 2009 by Allan Thomas and Kim Gillard.
Together, Allan and Kim saw a gaping hole in the market realising that the needs of runners were not being properly met. So collectively, they combined this wealth of experience and expertise, through Allan’s ongoing client base and Kim’s links to the athletic community to create The Running Edge.
Today, The Running Edge is Hobart's market leader in specialist footwear with an ongoing focus on credible, proven footwear brands sold on function and fit.
Our mission is to provide superior products and expert advice to the serious athlete, recreational runner or social walker. Our Hobart location is a specialist running and walking store providing running shoes, walking shoes, technical clothing, accessories & nutrition to men, women and children of all ages.
Expert knowledge and professional customer service is supported by the best running and footwear technical knowledge available, including a in-depth gait analysis for all customers who wish to be fitted at no extra cost. We believe that finding the right shoe is not only down to the correct gait analysis but also in the training and the experience of the person fitting you.
All of our staff are not only fitness fanatics but are extensively trained in upcoming products whilst working in conjunction with local podiatrists & brand representatives.
There is no need to book an appointment as we are open 6 days a week for your convenience.
And once you are ready to run or walk, The Running Edge supports numerous sporting events across the state throughout the year - open to anyone wanting to get out there and enjoy the running atmosphere. Each event offers competitors of all abilities a chance to have a go, from the beginner walker to the advanced runner!
Located in Hobart at 73 Murray Street - just down from the State library - The Running Edge is easily accessible to regular city workers, visitors and the running community.
