We only have one Earth to run on.

Since our founding in 1949, our purpose has been to help people achieve a Sound Mind in a Sound Body™. But in order to achieve Sound Mind, Sound Body™, we need a sound earth to run on. So we’re taking action—reducing CO2 emissions, embracing recycled materials and using less resources, to continue bringing the benefits of movement to the world we love to run in.
