We also have great deals on the remaining inventory of last years models. Stop by while we still have a good selection of sizes and widths.
While supplies last.

If you're not sure what to do with your old running shoes, please consider dropping them off at one of our locations. We have donated thousands of used running shoes to local charities, Soles 4 Souls, and to High School Coaches for their athletes who can't afford running shoes. You might be surprised how much these shoes are needed and used.

Drop off your race medals for a great cause. Medals 4 Mettle facilitates the gifting of finisher awards to children and adults dealing with chronic or debilitating illness and have demonstrated mettle, or courage in bravely facing these challenges. These patients might not be able to run a race, but are in the race of their lives.

Running Etc. is Expanding!
Running Etc. has outgrown our Beach store and will be moving to a larger space located just 150 meters from our current shop.

Welcome to Running Etc. est. 1986
Running Etc. is a running company, locally owned and operated since 1986. With over 24 years in business, we take great pride in carrying the largest selection of running gear in the Mid-Atlantic region.
[1986] Running Etc. in Norfolk was founded in June of 1986 by Michael Robinson. It all started in a small 2 story, 1300 square foot space on Colley Avenue, in Historic Ghent. One year later Michael unknowingly sold his future wife Pamela a pair of running shoes. The couple teamed up and worked hard to create an interesting, informative and fun "mom and pop" running shop.
[1996] Running Etc. has emphasized running from day one. In the early years we had a diverse product line that included aerobics, walking, cross training, and swimming. Year after year we began phasing out the side lines, and by 1994 we became totally dedicated to running. In 1996, Running Etc. moved to a 3,000 square foot space next door to their original location. This is where we operate today.
[2004] In August of 2004, Running Etc. opened a second location in the Hilltop section of Virginia Beach. We wanted our Beach shop to have the same product mix and great customer service that our Norfolk shop built its reputation on. Everything that made the Ghent shop a destination for runners from all over the state will be found at the Regency Hilltop shop.
Running is our passion, it's what we do best, and we are very good at what we do. We strive to carry the most technically innovative running shoes, apparel, and accessories available in today's marketplace. Running Etc. is the store to visit for all your running needs. If you are looking for guidance to find the perfect running shoe to make your feet happy, we offer video/treadmill gait analysis and a comprehensive selection of footwear models, sizes and widths. We have more running apparel and accessories than anyone in the region. We have everything a runner could want or need.
We are well respected and trusted by the local medical professionals and the local running community. Our goal is to be considered one of the best running stores in the country. Running Etc. is staffed with runners who care. We are fortunate to have a staff that we consider "family." We are runners who truly enjoy working with people and love the sport of running. Our staff has over 150 years of running experience combined. We serve world class athletes, local competitors, recreational runners, and beginners of all ages.
