The Running Hub
It was a long hard slog but four months after we closed our doors, we are now back open seven days a week. We're operating through a mix of appointments and drop ins. If your shoes are on their last legs and you've been holding off getting a new pair, then now's the time to pay us a visit. Ring 07921 693517 for any questions about products, timing or stock availability.

Welcome to Running Hub, one of the leading independent running retailers in the South East. We have built a strong reputation over the last 10 years for providing excellent customer service through our knowledge and understanding of running and footwear. We understand that every customer is different but our approach - based on years of running experience and technical expertise - ensures that everyone goes through the same journey.
Services
Running Hub was planned, researched and created in 2009 by local Tunbridge Wells' runner Allan Cheek. Its reputation for providing knowledge and excellent customer service grew over the next 10 years before the mantle was passed to David.

A former national standard middle distance runner and international duathlete, David was a member of Tonbridge AC for nearly 30 years before swapping allegiance to Tunbridge Wells Runners, the local club with strong links to the shop.The new management team bring a wealth of skills to the ever-expanding business: David was previously editorial director of Wild Bunch Media, publishers of Men's and Women's Running magazines.
Running Hub offers video gait analysis and foot-arch identification before selecting new shoes. Using the in-store treadmill, high speed video capture and the latest Contemplas Templo gait analysis software, your running motion or 'gait' is reviewed on screen in slow-motion or frame by frame to discover your individual requirements for footwear.
Running in the right shoes can make a big difference: it can help you improve faster over time and make sure you stay or move towards being pain free. Let's get you into something you'll never want to take off! Book your virtual gait analysis appointment with one of the experienced Running Hub shoe fitters.
We see thousands of feet every year and no two pairs are alike. Our gait analysis process starts from the foot up and in the majority of cases we can find the perfect shoe to iron out any imbalances we see in people's running gait. But sometimes we need a little helping hand. And that's where our custom insoles come in.

Yesterday I went in and asked about Plantar Fascitis I am experiencing. The young man working there willingly and enthusiastically gave me multiple suggestions how to heal it. I was so impressed that this store is much more than a place you can buy running shoes. The employees are a wealth of information‼️ 👏👏

This is a fantastic running store. I went in to try on some trail running shoes. Manny brought out no fewer than 6 pairs (maybe more) for me to try. After an hour of sampling each pair in the store and a second opinion from another salesperson, I picked a nice pair of New Balance. After deciding on that pair I checked out the clearance area and found that when buying a pair at regular price, the clearance shoes, clothing, and accessories were an extra 50% off the already reduced clearance price. So I walked out with two new pairs of New Balance. It's great to have a locally owned running shop.

Had a virtual gait analysis this morning with David. He was able to give me advice and recommend a particular product for me to try having just had ligament surgery on my foot. Very friendly, professional and run bang on time. Would highly recommend! Thanks guy ☺️

I had such a great experience at the Running Hub. I’ve never been an athlete so places like this usually intimidate me. But Stephen made me feel super comfortable right when I walked in. I’ve been starting to workout and I knew I needed better footwear. Stephen listen to what I was looking for and explained all the options. He explained the different types of shoes in a way that me, a non-runner, could understand! In the end, I was able to pick out the right shoe for me and I feel really good about the whole experience. Thanks Stephen for making it so easy! I definitely recommend Running Hub

Can heartily recommend. Fabulous store and a wealth of knowledge. First visit they sorted out my knee pain with a diagnosis of over pronation and the right shoes. I’m a large size and the fact they had them in stock meant it was a 10/10 experience for me and I’ve been back for more, and my wife too.

Thanks for the great service, especially atm when we can’t get out and about. Not only did David offer a phone consultation and send photos of options over on the same day, he also delivered to my door. Can’t recommend enough!

Great store with excellent selection and a very knowledgeable staff. Yes I admit I was buying running shows on the web; then had a foot (painful toe) issue. Went to the store and the expert staff uncovered the issues (size and show type) and got me into a shoe that's far, far more comfortable and pain is nearly gone. Sometimes you really need both experts and the availability to try on differing shows. This is the location in Santa Fe to do so and while the cost is a tiny bit higher, well worth it to support a local shop and end up pain free. Thank you Running Hub.

Great place to get running shoes and all types of other shoes... such as running flats, sandals, spikes, kick around shoes. The store also offers a wide selection of athletic clothing for a reasonable price. They give good deals to teenagers on cross country and track teams.

I'm beginner, I had some pain and needed shoes. I got shoes and helpful useful advice. It's really nice to go to a store where they can answer questions from a place of experience and recommend shoes based on your feet not just feet in general.

I recently went to Running Hub Santa Fe after my luggage was delayed and I needed running shoes and cloths (marathon training). Great selection of items and wonderful staff. As we spent time there getting outfitted the owner/manager helped us with ideas for things to do in Santa Fe that all proved to be excellent choices. Thanks for the Meow Wolf recommendation. Amazing place. Great running shoes and cloths.
