Why run with REI?

We know what it takes to wake up at 5 a.m., lace up your running shoes, and get out the door. We know because we’re right there with you, running the same trails, parks, and routes. Which is why we’re very selective about the road running shoes, trail running shoes, running clothing, and fitness electronics we recommend. From Brooks and HOKA to Altra and Salomon, you better believe every pair of running shoes has been tried and tested, including our used running gear. We hope this page serves as a hub for all the inspiration and information you need to get out there and run with us.
