Marathon Sports LLC
About
Marathon Sports in Arlington is a neighborhood outpost of the New England running retailer that has been in business since 1975. The shop sells running shoes and gear for runners, walkers and anyone wanting everyday comfort, stocking brands such as New Balance and Puma. The emphasis is on personal service, with staff using the company’s fitting process to match footwear to the way each customer actually moves rather than relying on guesswork.
Every fitting uses the chain’s Right Fit process: a consultation about goals and injury history, a barefoot gait analysis, and on-the-spot adjustments as customers test shoes. Staff may also recommend insoles, injury prevention tools, hydration gear or nutrition. The company publishes its own shoe reviews, keeps a calendar of New England 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons and marathons, and organizes weekly group runs out of its stores.
