Fast Feet / Fleet Feet / Run Happy
We are beyond excited to share our newest partnership with Fleet Feet Raleigh as our exclusive shoe sponsor. And with running, it’s all about the feet … happy feet in particular.
A little bit about Fleet Feet in the Raleigh area. They are LOCALLY owned in the Triangle area. Fleet Feet is a national company, headquartered in Carrboro, NC but operates in a franchise model. The three locally owned stores partnering with RDP are Fleet Feet Raleigh located on Wade Avenue, Fleet Feet North Raleigh, and Fleet Feet Morrisville. Whether you are a new or seasoned runner, it is a great place to buy shoes or other running goodies with nice and educated staff.
We especially love that Fleet Feet is so engaged with the Triangle community, whether they’re sponsoring local races, providing track spikes to local high school teams or coaching runners to race PRs. RDP has always focused on strengthening the amazing running community we have here, which is why working with Fleet Feet was such an obvious fit.
Speaking of fit, some of our favorite shoes are the Brooks Ghost and Brooks Glycerin for trainers and the Brooks Hyperion Tempo for workouts or speed work. As a team, we will be exclusively running in Brooks shoes supplied through Fleet Feet. And we couldn’t be more pumped!
