About

Running Center Tampa Bay is a family-owned specialty running store on North Dale Mabry, set apart by a credential you won't find at most running shops: the owner is a U.S. military veteran and a Certified Podorthist. That clinical background informs every fitting — staff go beyond standard gait analysis to address foot structure, biomechanics, and injury history in ways that make a meaningful difference for runners dealing with chronic problems.

The store carries over 100 styles of running shoes, including a strong selection of wide widths, and staff are experienced runners who match footwear to individual needs rather than trends. Running Center offers custom orthotics and injury consultation services alongside its retail operation, making it a genuine destination for Tampa runners who need more than a shoe sale.

Military discount is available, and the store accepts Apple Pay with private lot parking on site.
