About Marathon Sports:

Marathon Sports is a collection of individuals bound by a common thread: the love for all things that promote a positive, healthy running; any activity in which the human body is the vehicle--is a fundamental element of personal well-being. And we believe you should be able to do these things in comfort. This is why, for over three decades, we have been committed to making sure the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other is as easy as it sounds.

Our Story:

Founded in 1975 and under the sole ownership of Colin Peddie since 1992, we have grown from our humble beginnings as a renovated first-floor apartment near Cambridge’s historic Harvard Square to six retail locations spread in all directions across the Greater Boston area.

By implementing foot and biomechanical analysis in the shoe selection process called The RightFit in early 1992, we helped to pioneer the gait assessment component now prevalent among most running and walking specialty retailers across the nation.

Through a commitment to exceptional customer service and an unparalleled depth of knowledge for the products we carry and the ways in which they work, we have won the prestigious and coveted Best of Boston award (given by Boston magazine) an unprecedented 10 times, an honor we take very seriously.

Ultimately, our mission is to bring you all the passion, knowledge and honesty that we share for our sport in an effort to help you successfully pursue your own personal goals for a healthy life.

BROOKLINE Location: Mile 23

Washington Square, a neighborhood better known for its eclectic fine dining, also happens to be at the bottom of one of the most welcomed downhills on the entire Marathon course, a few miles past the notorious Heartbreak Hill at the 23 mile mark.

The location has served as the home of Marathon Sports Brookline since its doors opened in 1998, a year also noted for Marathon Sports winning its second Best of Boston award from Boston Magazine, having also won the year before.
