Marathon Sports
About
Marathon Sports in Salem is a run specialty shop and part of a chain that has been running New England since 1975. It helps runners, walkers and fitness enthusiasts find shoes and gear that keep them comfortable and confident as they work toward their next goal. The store carries running footwear and gear from brands such as New Balance and Puma, ranging from plush, cushioned shoes for recovery to fast trainers and racing models.
The heart of the service is the Right Fit process. Staff learn about each customer’s training, routines and injury history, perform a barefoot visual gait analysis, then fine-tune the selection as the customer walks or runs in different pairs. Recommendations can extend to orthotic insoles, injury prevention tools, hydration and nutrition. Marathon locations also bring runners together through weekly group runs, and the company keeps a calendar of New England races.
