Bob Wallace founder of Run On! said, “It is always a tremendous honor to receive such accolades. It is a credit to our entire staff, vendors and most importantly our loyal customers.”

The third annual Best of Texas Awards from Competitor Texas are based upon votes from the magazines’ readers. In 2005 Run On! was ranked as the number three running store in Texas and jumped to number one in 2006. The complete list was published in the January issue of Competitor Texas Magazine.

“The Best of Texas awards represent the entire state of Texas and to win in the category of best running store is a major accomplishment. Run On has made huge strides over the past few years and runners around the state and in DFW are taking notice!” added Brian Hasenbauer, Associate Publisher of Competitor Texas Magazine.

The Running Network and Footwear Intelligence rankings are based upon secret shoppers’ experiences in running specialty stores around the country. This is the inaugural year of the rankings which culminated with a banquet in Austin this past November.
