Running shoes usually have logos that evoke the idea of speed, such as a swoosh, a cheetah driving a go-kart, or a child growing up. Be the fastest human you know with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of merchandise at The Running Hub in Santa Fe.

As a specialty running store, The Running Hub outfits, advises and supports able-bodied runners of all sorts with clothing, accessories, and technically advanced shoes. Like a jack-in-the-box, a foot may require different levels of support, spring, or weight, to properly launch itself out of terrifying musical containers. Find the right fit through an array of running shoes ($100–$140) from brands such as Adidas, Asics, and New Balance. Cushion weary soles with a breathable sock ($6–$12) to help prevent blisters and moldy toes. Running tops ($35–$60) and shorts ($35–$50) wick sweat from perspiring trunks, allowing for an optimally comfortable run. The Running Hub's knowledgeable staff is comprised of avid and competitive runners and running coaches whose dedication to the sport results in excellent customer service with an emphasis on finding the right gear for each individual sprinter to enhance mobility and prevent injury.

The store hosts year-round runs every Thursday on the Dale Ball Trails, which vary in length between 1 and 17 miles. For an added cost, The Run Hub also offers personalized training programs to help runners finish triathlons, marathons, 10k's, 5k's or races to the mailbox and back.
