The summer of demo runs continues!

Curious about the latest running shoes? A demo run is a great way to test new models before you buy—on your feet, in real conditions. Just show up, check in, and take a pair of shoes for a spin during one of our regularly scheduled group runs. Demos are free and open to all paces and experience levels. Shoes are available 30 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Here’s what we’ve got coming up:

Wednesday, July 16 – 6:30 PM
Brooks Demo at Schenley Park Oval
Try the all-new Brooks Hyperion Max 3, a lightweight trainer built for speed and responsiveness. Meet us at the track and put them to the test on a workout or steady run.

Sunday, July 20 – 7:30 AM
New Balance Demo at Fall Training Kickoff
We’re kicking off our Fall 2025 Training Program with a visit from New Balance and demo pairs of the FuelCell Rebel v5—a fast, lightweight shoe perfect for tempo runs, long efforts and everything in between.

Thursday, July 24 – 6:30 PM
Nike Demo at Fleet Feet Bakery Square
