About Us:

 In January of 2005, The Running Zone was purchased from its founders by a group of runners and walkers, many of whom are also coaches & teachers. There are close to 100 years of running, walking and coaching experience amongst the Running Zone owners. The owners, who are  local residents, felt there was a great need for a local running specialty store due to the large numbers of people in the community committed to living healthy lifestyles. The Runing Zone is committed to helping people achieve their fitness goals.

Our Mission:

• To  assist our customers to do what they do better- be it running, walking, or staying fit.
• To insure that each and every customer receives the best service and support possible.
• To provide our customers accurate and professional fitting of shoes and products for our customers' running, walking and fitness needs.
• To promote health and fitness in the Elk Grove and surrounding communities.

What We Do:

The first thing we do is discuss your current running, walking or fitness program and your goals.We will ask about any problems or injuries you may be experiencing. We will also examine your old shoes and the shape of your foot. We will perform a free foot mechanics analysis. This will help us determing the proper category of shoe for you based on the amount of pronation of your foot and the height of your arches. Then, we will recommend a variety of shoes which meet the characteristics of your feet. We will offer an explanation of the shoes we've chosen as best for you.
