WHAT WE DO:

The Running Room sells running shoes, apparel, accessories, nutrition, and electronics. More importantly, we help people start running and keep running. We offer and advice and encouragement to every single person who walks through the door, whether they've just started exercising or they're seasoned ultramarathoners. We're about helping people find the right fit or perfect product, not about aggressive selling. We take pride in what we do, keep learning so we can provide expert advice, and never take ourselves too seriously. (Oh, and we have awesome employee discounts!)

Running Room welcomes and encourages applications from people with disabilities. Upon request, Running Room will provide accommodations from candidates taking part in the selection process
