Two old women went shopping at the St. George Running Center. We don't run, but we need good shoes that don't hurt our arthritic feet. We were greeted by a nice man who was extremely helpful. St George is a shopaholic's desert. It's hard to find what you want & it's hard to find someone who knows their products. I truly appreciate the time & patience. We both walked out with the right footwear. Yes, we will return. read more

Stop in on a whim. We are in town from Vegas visiting, not looking for any specific running gear. However, we stopped in their smaller location since we were in the area exploring, but was directed to this store for more selection. The staff were super nice & helpful. You can tell they were genuinely wanting to help all the customers in the store. I was impressed. We purchased a new running vest for me & a few shirts for the fiancé. Overall, I'd come back anytime we are in town & recommend to others ! read more

I stopped in here to pick up my race packet for the Sun Marathon. The store looked clean and well organized. It also looked staffed with some helpful employees. They gave out solid shoe advice and recommendations to other customers inside the store. After getting my packet in the training room at the back of the store, I browsed their selection of shoes. I was tempted to purchase a new pair as my current pair was near the end of its life. However, although I've done it before, it would be unwise to run a marathon in brand new shoes. If I'm ever in the area and in need of a new pair of running shoes or some nutrition, I would definitely come here. read more

Since I live in Vegas, I had never known about this store until last week when I participated in the 2020 Southern Utah Half Marathon, which is hosted by the St George Running Center! I'm not sure how new this store is, but it is really nice, big, and well organized! Definitely has everything you'd need for your running needs! Not only do they sell tons of running shoes, but they also have a full stock of running apparel, sunglasses, hydration vests and bottles, gels, etc. I did pick up a lightweight Brooks running hat for my race after picking up my packet. Definitely worth checking out if you're a runner and in the St George area! read more

Dayna and Lily helped me find the perfect shoes for running the Grand Canyon. Lily helped me in the store with things I didn't even know about shoes and answered all my questions. She was quick and friendly. The St. George running center has a great selection and top notch customer service. I'll be shopping here again soon. read more

Steve took the time to help my daughter find great running shoes that fit her well. Highly recommend!

Took my husband in there to find shoes for his Spartan race and everyone that worked there was so helpful.

Needed some new running shows, so I decide to try St. George Running Center. 10 out of 10! The people where so kind and very knowledgeable. Shout out to Trey, he deserves employee of the mouth. Super realible product, highly recommend. read more

Excellent customer service! Steve was so helpful in looking for the right running shoe.

Thank you and keep up the great work! read more

St George Running Center - Excellent idea -- shoe recycling - Sports Wear Near Me - Saint George, Utah

Always the best service and advice, this has become my go to place to buy running shoes! They always have a huge selection and the price is always right read more

Dusted off my Yelp account just to leave this 5 star review (6 if I could) of Larissa's expertise and an all around eye-opening experience. I went in thinking I'd pick a pair of Brooks in a color I liked and call it a day - wound up getting the download of the century on how to best find a shoe for one's specific foot. Completely changed how I felt running - even had an opportunity to jog around outside before I purchased them. Everyone there was super attentive to the person they were working with and clearly all highly knowledgeable in this space. Really an outstanding experience - I'll be back for any athletic needs whenever I'm in St. G! read more

Need some running shoes? Surely St. George Running Center will have the shoes you need right? Wrong. The last 5 times I have come in for some Altra Torin's (some of Altra's most popular running shoes) they haven't had a single pair in size 13. "Come in after the first! That's when we get our shipment in!" Here on the 6th and there's none. For a running store, their stock of popular shoe brands is unreliable. Staff is nice. Nice accessories. Never have what I need. Online from here on out. read more

What a great find! Being from out of town I found the store on google and sure enough they had the exact shoe I needed. Went in everyone was very friendly and courteous. Inside the store has a real nice clean look, cant wait to come back again this summer! Thanks for the new shoes! read more

I have been running marathons and triathlons for the past couple years. I have purchased several shoes from here and have not been disappointed! They are great at helping you find the perfect shoe to help you finish the race! read more

St George Runner Center is the only place I'll buy my running shoes. They help you find the right shoe for you. They let you test a few so you can feel the difference between shoes. Customer service is great. Their prices are in line with what you would pay anywhere. And the support they give you after the sell is priceless. They also support a lot a local events and training clubs. I won't go anywhere else. Zanna S. doesn't have a clue! Just sayin.... read more

This is the only place I will buy my running shoes. I'll relate my story (and no Jordan, this is not a result of bribery, I've recommended countless people there). I purchased a pair of shoes that felt great when trying them on at the store, however, after the first 2 runs in them I realized they were not going to work for me. Even after running through mud in the shoes they returned them with no questions & helped me find a shoe that works for me. Yes, they are runners themselves, but that should be viewed as a good thing, I'm not sure what running techniques Zanna is talking about, but they've done nothing but help me with my running...They DO know what they are talking about. Also, there prices are right in line with the competition & a lot of the time better. read more

Love this store. Knowledgable owner and staff. They are always willing to order things if they don't have what you want. Best choice for running shoes and sport nutrition in Southern Utah! read more

This is the only place I will purchase my running shoes. It is extremely valuable to go in and be fitted and have shoes brought out that fit your gait cycle. The employees care about their customers and value putting customers into the shoe that will make them feel the best on their runs or walks. They are extremely knowledgeable of what is occurring in the community, as well other running related products. read more

I was visiting St. George on holiday and went to the St. George Running Center looking for a specific pair of shoes for duckfooted runners: the Brooks Beast. The customer service person discussed my needs and had a look at my gait, then recommended a different pair: the Books Adrenaline. The Adrenaline turned out to be just the right support for me with a lighter weight and a lower price. Very pleased with the purchase Credit to the store and staff for matching customers with the right product. read more

I have purchased shoes for my daughter here, and they were not any more expensive than they would be anywhere else. What is different is that the people that work here are very nice and helpful, which makes all the difference in the world. My guy has purchased several pairs of shoes as well as accessories here, and also received great suggestions and running tips. We will continue to shop here and support local business instead of big chains. read more

Great specialty store for hard-to-find professional running wear. Very friendly and helpful staff there they are very knowledgeable on their product lines. Don't let the size of the front of the store fool you! There's a lot of product packed into this small storefront. read more

Great customer service!! Havent ran in years got back into it to get back in shape and needed a quality shoe to help. Went in November and eneded up with some zero drop shoes and left with a warning that they may take a while to get used to and I might be a little sore but would be better in the long run. Used them a total of three times and switched back to my old shoes because of the knee pain they caused. Didn't count on the store being willing to help because of the time that had gone by but decided to give it a try. Went back in and the man I think was the owner was more than happy to let me trade them in for a shoe that would work for me. Took time to watch my gait, figure out what would be best, and gave me a ton of options left with a great pair of brooks and couldn't be happier. This is exactly why I went to a local running store instead of a big box store that wouldn't have done anything close to this to make sure I was taken care of. The gentleman even told me if I dont like this after a while to come back, they want to make sure I'm happy with my shoes. Great experience. read more

Are you serious about your running or hiking. These guys are seriously knowledgeable about shoes, feet and what to wear. They will have you walk around and analyze your step. Then they make their recommendations based on their experience which is vast. Both Clint and Levi that helped me, log about a 100 miles a week. I was walking 25 miles a week with a 40 lb pack training for Mt. Rainer wonderland trail. Plantar fasciitis was killing me after just a few weeks of training. They both immediately recommended the same shoe, a strange French shoe that had a super thick sole but extremely light, called Hoka. I was desperate and just trusted them. After two weeks my plantar fasciitis is 80% better. I can still train all the time and with no pain because of these shoes. I actually walk on hard floors without cushioned flip flops. But because I am so afraid it will flair again, I don't do it much. I don't think I was getting a great discount on price, but I would have paid twice that for a doctor visit. I loved having experienced folks with which to discuss my problems. read more

Best customer service you can ask for ! I took my shoes back 2 times and they said no problem we want you to have the best shoes ! Places often sell two shoes to get customers into the best shoe. ( often whiney ones who cant decide) then they say hey bring one pair back for a refund. They are not about sales they are about the love of running. The shoes arent the cheapest because knees arent exactly easy to replace. Dear Jordan F and Zanna S. Come running with me , I ll show ya whats up and how much St RC has helped me be a faster runner ! read more

The product itself is what gives this place two stars. Minus that and you have yourself a business with a problem in customer service. The salesmen are more interested in the local track and cross country athletes and who is dating who. I have been shopping here for years but I won't be back. Nor will I be recommending this place to anyone. Find reviews on Amazon and go from there. read more

Great experience! Really friendly staff and they took the time help me find the right shoe. I highly recommend.

Wow I couldn't disagree with the negative reviews more! I did see the FB post & all it asks for is an "honest review" so here goes... I am active 3-7 days a week, 2 years ago I went in to the St George running center I was that guy who always wondered why people ran if no one was chasing them! Unfortunately I had friends that were doing a 1/2 marathon & I wanted to go, so I decided to go look at some shoes. After the employee on at the time spent an hour or two with me making sure I got the best possible shoe (by analyzing my gate & having me try on at least 15 different shoes & explaining to me the differences between each of them) They recommended & I purchased a lower priced shoe that fit so well I went on to run that 1/2, another one 6 months later and now run 40-50 miles a week just for fun... I return every 6 months or so & have recommended it to many friends for the service & attention they give. When I left the store I believed they were trying to insure I had the best running experience I could have no matter who I bought my shoes from! read more

SInce I moved down from SLC 3 years ago, I have purchased close to 20 pairs of shoes from the St. George Running Center over the past 2-3 years. This is the only place I would buy running shoes in Southern Utah. I only recently got to know the owner and he is a stud who truly cares about his customers. These guys know their stuff and do a great job fitting me each time I buy. I am an intense runner (marathons, tri's, ironman) so it is great to have a shop like this in St. George that knows their stuff! read more

Very bad customer experience. They don't carry shoes in my size, and lost my order. They did give me my money back, but I won't be walking into this store again. read more
