Classic Ghost comfort, AMPED up.⚡️

Sevanne Ghazarian recently laced up the all-new Brooks Running Ghost Amp to put it to the ultimate test!

The verdict? A perfect 10/10. 👟

If you love the reliable Ghost feel but crave a lighter, livelier ride, this shoe delivers. Brooks loaded it with their brand-new midsole foam: DNA HYPE. A blend of PEBA and EVA, this foam delivers bouncy, fun, responsive cushion, and lightweight softness (without being unstable). Paired with a snappy SpringRamp forefoot geometry, it effortlessly rolls you forward with an extra pop of propulsion.

It is light enough for workouts, yet cushioned enough for easy runs. No plate, no stiffness, just pure responsive fun.

👟 Head into Runners' Choice to feel the DNA Hype for yourself!

Races come and go, but the memories (and the mountain views) last forever.

🏔️ 20+ members of our Marathon Team and family took over the Banff Half Marathon & 10km! Swipe through to see the elevation and a whole lot of RCW smiles.

From the team dinners to exploring the Canadian Rockies together, trips like this are what make our Marathon Team so special. It is not just about the training and racing, it's about the family we build along the way. 💙

Want in on the memories? We just dropped our Marathon Team membership from $150 to $90 for the remainder of the year! Link below.
