📢 Important Announcement from Runner’s Block 📢

We want to share that Runner’s Block will be closing its doors effective November 1. This was not an easy decision, but please know that all inventory will be transferred to our sister company, Fit My Feet. If you’re looking for your go-to running shoes or gear after we close, you can find them there!

We are deeply grateful to every customer who has supported us over the years and to our incredible team whose hard work, dedication, and passion made serving this amazing community possible. Your loyalty has meant the world to us. 💙

We know this news may be disappointing for many of our loyal customers, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We encourage you to stop by before November 1 for any last-minute footwear needs or just to say goodbye.

Even after our doors close, Fit My Feet will continue to provide the same great service and footwear selection at their Sioux Falls, Rapid City, and Rochester locations — or you can shop with them online.

Thank you again for your trust, support, and friendship over the years. We have loved being part of your running journey. 🏃‍♀️💙
