The New Year always feels like the perfect time to hit reset. Whether your 2025 New Year's resolution didn’t make it to December, your running shoes are hanging on by a thread, or you just want to feel healthier heading into 2026, now’s the moment to make it happen… and Running Wild is the best place to start.
If you’re trying to start running, get back into it, or just update your routine, here’s how you can kick off the new year strong.
1. New Year, New Gear
There’s something about getting new running gear that instantly makes you want to get outside and move. Upgrading your gear is not only essential to preventing injuries and staying healthy, but it can totally change your mindset.
At Running Wild, our team is trained to help you find the perfect gear to meet your goals. They’ll help you find:
- Shoes, insoles, and socks that fit your feet and running style
- Quality apparel that is made for runners
- Layers for when it’s freezing in the morning and hot by noon
- Little things like hydration, nutrition, and reflective gear
2. Training Programs That Keep You Accountable
At Running Wild, we understand that trying to follow a training schedule on your own can just make training more challenging and confusing. Our training programs take out the guesswork. Whether you’re trying to run your first 5K or thinking about going big with a half-marathon, having a real schedule makes all the difference.
You’ll get:
- Mileage that builds at a normal, not-crazy pace
- Guidance from our certified coaches
- Accountability with fellow runners
- Even more perks depending on which program you choose!

- People to run with
- A reason to show up
- Familiar routes each week
- A vibe that makes running more fun
- Demo new products at our demo runs
Plus, we have run groups for EVERYONE, no matter your pace. You don’t have to be fast, you just have to show up. And it’s free, which is the best part!
