1st Place Sports San Marco

1st Place Sports San Marco is the flagship location of one of Northeast Florida's most beloved running specialty retailers. Set in the historic San Marco neighborhood, this store serves runners from across Jacksonville's urban core and has been a cornerstone of the local running scene for decades.

The San Marco store offers comprehensive shoe fitting services including gait analysis, a wide selection of performance footwear, and a knowledgeable team with deep roots in the Jacksonville running community. The neighborhood's walkable streets and proximity to the St. Johns River make it a natural gathering spot for runners.

As the heart of the 1st Place Sports brand, the San Marco location is heavily involved in local racing — from large events like the Gate River Run to smaller neighborhood races — and is a first stop for many Jacksonville runners seeking gear, training advice, and community connection.
