TRC nationally recognized for third time; second year in a row

Team Terra recieving A Best Running Store award in 2022

On Thursday, July 27, Terra Running Company, along with 60 other stores across the country, was again named “A Best Running Store.” While Terra Running Company has won this award more than once, this is the first time they have received the honor in back-to-back years (2019, 2022, and 2023).

Conferred by The Running Event since 2008, this national award recognizes the leaders in the run specialty industry. As explained by The Running Event, “Best Running Stores celebrates the stores leading by example in the run specialty industry—the retailers who continually show their commitment to their customers and community. Leaders among their peers, these stores are always striving to create a stronger industry.”

Beyond the in-store experience, retailers must show expertise and professionalism, as well as offer events and programs around the sport of running. Charitable community involvement is also evaluated. To be considered for a Best Running Store award, retailers are nominated by customers and the community before being examined on location.

“We are really honored to be recognized as one of the best running stores, not only in the Southeast but in the US.” said owner Brittany Katz, “Our community has supported Terra Running Company in our mission to make activity more accessible for eight years and we are incredibly thankful for the continued support.”

Once again, Terra Running Co. is one of only two stores in the state of Tennessee to receive the award. All winners will be honored in person at The Running Event in Austin, Texas on November 30, 2023.
