Runner’s Image Closing After 41 Years in Rockford

Runner’s Image, a staple in the Rockford community for over 41 years, is sadly closing its doors.

It’s bittersweet news for anyone who’s laced up a pair of running shoes from this beloved shop.

Who can forget the unique experience of stopping by, trying on shoes, and running on a treadmill to test them out? It's a memory that will be cherished, as there's no other shop quite like Runner's Image.

Owners Steve and Lisa made the tough decision, thanking customers for decades of support and being part of the Runner’s Image “family.”

Huge Discounts Before the Final Lap

As part of their farewell, the store is offering 20% to 70% off storewide.

If you’ve been eyeing new gear or need to stock up on running essentials, now’s your chance.

This isn’t just any sale; it’s your last chance to support a local legend while scoring some of the best deals you’ll find.

December Hours You Need to Know

For the rest of December, the store will only be open during limited hours:

• Fridays: 2 PM to 7 PM
• Saturdays: 10 AM to 3 PM

Remember, time is running out. Make sure to visit during these limited hours to grab what’s left of their inventory. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Spread the Word

Steve and Lisa hope to reach as many people as possible before the store closes permanently.

As a regular customer, I can't help but feel a personal connection to Runner's Image. I'll definitely be making a final visit before they close, and I hope to see you there, too.

It’s tough to see a business like this go, but let’s give Runner’s Image some love before closing up for good.

Stop by, grab some gear, and say goodbye to a place that’s been more than just a store; it’s been part of our community in Rockford.
