Rush Running Company
Keeping you comfortable from the ground up
About
As a local, family-owned business, we’re proud to keep that true “small running shop” feel alive. When you walk through our doors, you’re not just another customer. You’re a runner, a walker, a future runner, or someone about to become one. And we’re excited to help!
One of the ways we do that is with our Video Gait Analysis. We’ll measure your feet, watch you run, and look for any biomechanical quirks in your stride so we can match you with the shoe that will work best for you. It’s a little science, a little coaching, and a lot of experience. Then comes the fun part… trying on shoes. With more than 40 models in the store, we’ll help you find the one that feels just right.
Rush Running was founded by Mike and Alison Rush, two lifelong runners who have been part of the sport since middle school and never really stopped. Mike continued running at the University of Arkansas and has spent years coaching at Fayetteville High School, along with helping runners of all levels chase goals from their first 5K to their next marathon. Alison also ran for Arkansas, finishing her senior year as the LadyBacks’ top runner and going on to qualify for the Olympic Trials in the 10K.
Running has always been a huge part of their lives, and that passion is what built Rush Running into the community hub it is today.
KEEP IT LOCAL
When you support locally owned businesses like Rush Running, your dollars go further. For every $100 spent at an independent local store, $68 stays right here in the community, supporting local services, local jobs, and the small businesses that make Northwest Arkansas special.
Spend that same $100 at a national chain, and only $23 stays local.
Every purchase helps support the local running community, local races, and the people who keep this sport growing right here at home!
