Join Our Community
We are more than a run specialty shop, we’re a community of movers improving our physical and mental health. Whether you are a runner, jogger, walker or mixture of both, we encourage you to lace up and join a club best fit for you!
Still I Run
Join the Root Runners team as we embrace our North Jersey Still I Run Chapter Title. The first Sunday of every month, we meet as Still I Run Sparta to empower ourselves and the community with our commitment to breaking the stigma around mental health.
Walk Move Run Club
Our goals it to continue to collaborate with our community in finding ways to move together so that we can inspire more people to move. For their physical, but more importantly, their mental health. If you know someone that is new to walking or running, they are welcome, we will have a route for them. Let’s get more people moving.
