soundRUNNER was opened in November 2001 by Julie and Bob Francis, to help service the needs of individuals seeking to lead active and healthy lifestyles.

From running/walking footwear and apparel to grassroots events and races, Julie felt that there was a void that needed to be filled…and that she did.


Through the years we have become a destination for people across Connecticut to receive advice on proper running, walking and active equipment. We have contributed to many charities through the various races and events we sponsor. We have also created an atmosphere for individuals to participate in group runs, clinics and informational forums.

 

In 2013, soundRUNNER joined forces with Marathon Sports. This partnership has allowed us to service our customers in a way we were not able to before. It is amazing what a couple of brands can do together when they put their customers first!

Since we opened Branford in 2001, we have added three additional stores, covering the southern Connecticut Shoreline as well as Hartford County.

BRANFORD – 2001 | OLD SAYBROOK – 2010 | GLASTONBURY – 2015 | FAIRFIELD – 2015
