Let this be the season you get properly fitted in shoes that actually support your feet. Let this be the season you choose to shop local and invest in your community. Let this be the season you move with intention.

Your movement matters and your Runaround Self-Love Bingo Card is your reminder to keep showing up for YOU ❤️
Whether you’re walking the Frisco Trail, jogging your favorite Joplin trailhead, stretching it out between errands, speaking affirmations over yourself, or simply discovering what motivates you to move… this is what the Runaround is all about. Movement that feels personal. Goals that feel sustainable. Community that keeps you going.
‼️ Don’t forget to complete your bingo card and submit it before February 15th to be entered into our Self-Love Care Kit raffle. Every square is a chance to reconnect with your body, your mindset, and your why. ‼️
Valentine’s season might be about love but here at the Runaround, we believe self-care and movement don’t end when February does. The habits you’re building now are meant to carry you through every season ahead.
So grab a friend, explore a local trailhead, check off those squares, and keep choosing movement in ways that feel good to YOU. We’re here cheering you on every step of the way 🫶

Runners in Joplin know routes often switch from pavement to ice and snow. The new Challenger 8 handles both. It uses softer foam for comfort on the road and tough 4mm lugs for grip on the snow. The fit is roomier in the toe box, so your feet stay happy over long miles. It is the right tool for mixed terrain.

Mark your calendar for Saturday, March 14th. We start at 9:00 AM right here at the Runaround store on Main St. It is free to enter thanks to TAMKO and Joplin Greenhouse. Wear your best green outfit. Bring your coworkers. Let’s fill the streets and have a great morning.
New apparel just hit the floor at the runaround 🤝 and yes… it’s GOOD.
We’ve stocked up on fresh women’s + men’s pieces from lululemon + vuori so you can head into your next run, walk, jog, workout, or rest day feeling comfortable, confident, and ready for movement.
When you shop local at the runaround you’re not just buying gear, you’re supporting local runners, local events, and a small business that pours back into the Joplin community. PLUS you get to try everything on, ask for recommendations, and find pieces that actually work for YOUR training or lifestyle.
stop by, see what’s new, and find your next favorite outfit 🏃♀️🏃♂️ #therunaround #shoplocaljoplin #runaround #lululemon #vuori
Self love looks like showing up. ✔️
This month at The Run Around we’re celebrating Valentine’s with our Self-Care Bingo. Our intention is to blend movement, community, and mindful moments on and off the run.
Pick up your card in store, complete your squares, and turn it in for a chance to win a self-love care kit. 💌 #runaround #shoplocal #joplin #valentines #selflove
We are a local team, not a big box store. That means we build this business around you. We want to know what matters most to your fitness life right now. Is it finding a safe group to run with? overcoming injuries? or just finding the time? Let us know in the comments so we can plan the right events for you.
Sometimes your legs just need a break. The new Glycerin Max 2 uses nitrogen-infused foam to soak up the road. It offers a soft, bouncy ride that protects your feet on long runs or recovery days. The shape of the sole rolls you forward, making each step feel easier. Keep your legs fresh for tomorrow.

February isn’t just about loving someone else.
It’s about choosing yourself, too.
Self-love isn’t selfish.
It’s choosing to move your body.
It’s taking care of your physical health so your mental health has a place to land.
It’s showing up for yourself, even on the days it’s hard.
That’s why this February we’re inviting you to slow down, be intentional, and invest in you.
Our Runaround Self-Care Bingo is a simple reminder that small choices add up! Whether that’s a short walk, a stretch, trying something new, or finally prioritizing how your body feels day to day. No pressure. No perfection. Just progress.
From February 1–14, complete activities on the card, get five in a row, and bring it back to the store to be entered to win a Self-Love Care Kit. More importantly, you’ll be building habits that support your long-term health and well-being.
You’ll see this theme show up a lot this year, because investing in yourself isn’t a one-time thing. It’s a lifelong commitment, and it matters.
Grab a card in store or follow along with us.
Choose movement. Choose care. Choose yourself.
Without the love, it’s just shoes.

We are bringing the community together this St. Patrick’s Day. Join us downtown for a 5k that costs nothing to enter but means everything to local families. In place of a fee, we suggest a donation to the Ronald McDonald House of the Four States. Just $20 covers a two-night stay for a family needing to be near their sick child. Walkers, runners, and families are all welcome.
If you’ve been shopping with us for the last 16 years, you’ve probably met the real boss around here.
Today, Beckett turns 12.
From growing up in the shop to helping out behind the scenes, he’s been part of this place since his day one.
Help us wish the boss man a very happy birthday.
