We want to take a moment to celebrate Byron and The Running Company - South Adelaide, who closed their doors yesterday after 11 years servicing the runners of the south.
Byron would be a familiar face to many through events and also from managing Adelaide with Max and now TRC Newstead owner, Ethan.
TRC's greatest strength has always been it's people and this is something the Byron and Max lived by. Both stores were always stronger for each others support and creating the best possible outcomes for our customers, referral partners and staff alike.
Byron's connection with the southern running community shone through run clubs like Breath and Bones and Southern Athletics Club, and in particular, the relationship we have with Great Southern Runs.
One door closes and another door opens. Proud to have worked with Byron and lucky to call him a great mate. All the best on your next career!
We look forward to welcoming everyone from South Adelaide up at Hyde Park, and pleased to have Sam joining our team.
Thanks for everything Byron and TRC South Adelaide!
What do the staff wear⁉️ Our very own podiatry student Hudson shares what he is currently wearing and why as he return to running from injury! Pop in-store to check them out or have a chat!👟

A runner’s “handiest” accessory at this time of year is a good pair of gloves!
Your hand is exposed skin that does nothing while you run, leaving them out in the cold facing the elements - cold air, wind and rain. Keep your hands warm and dry with a pair of running gloves and power through these freezing cold mornings 🧤❄️🥶
We are here to help.
A visit to The Running Company - Adelaide allows us to help you make the best possible decision around your footwear purchase.
