Gary Morgan/Michigan Runner, James O’Brien/Winged Foot and Larry Eder/Running Network in Daegu, Korea With over 750,000 bimonthly readers and 2.25 million unique monthly visitors to our combined websites, the Running Network LLC is your gateway to the running community. With 8 national and 15 regional publications, we provide complete geographical coverage in the United States, Canada, and Central and South America.

Among our adult readers—who number more than 500,000—nearly 47% are women. Our readers run an average of 25 miles per week, race 12–16 times per year (including 1–2 marathon finishes), and purchase 3–4 pairs of running shoes within that year. Our younger readers (325,000) run 6 times per week, 46 weeks per year, race 32 times per year, and purchase 5 pairs of running shoes annually. Known as committed runners among their friends and acquaintances, they are often asked for advice and guidance by those just entering the sport. With the addition of Get Active!, Austin Fit, and Winged M magazines, fitness runners are our newest reader group under the RN banner: over 60% women who work out 103 days over the course of the year—and 32 of those days are spent running.

Over 90% of our circulation is direct-mailed to the homes of our readers as paid or requested. More than 70% are professionals with annual household incomes exceeding $88,000. Most importantly, the Running Network is your opportunity to reach the most devoted enthusiasts in the grassroots running communities.

The sport of running has evolved, and so has the Running Network. We started our websites in 1996, began blogging in 2007, and tweeting in 2008. Social networks are nothing new—specialty magazines have been doing that for decades! But whether by mobile phone, twitter.com, blogging, digital TV, or websites, plus our digital and print publications, we continue to focus on one theme—enhancing the relationship between our readers and their local running community. The various media platforms of the Running Network create and reinforce an atmosphere where runners are influencers, and where the key channel in our world is the specialty running store.

We are confident that, no matter how small your budget, we can help you target your potential consumer in a unique way to reach your sales goals. Now more than ever, effective advertising and marketing not only keep your brand in the consumer’s line-of-sight, but build your future. Astute companies are increasing their marketing and advertising plans in 2012–2013, not decreasing.

Readership on our websites went through the roof during the World Championships in Daegu, Korea, 2011. We have embraced social media, iPhone/Android apps, digital publications, and live blogging at major events. Watch for some innovative ways to view London from the Running Network in 2012! The same is true during the Boston, New York, Berlin, Chicago, and London marathons because our readers are fascinated by our sport and its manifestation both at home and across the globe.

The Running Network LLC is geared to provide our readers with the information they need to be better runners, more informed consumers, and more involved in the sport that they love. We hope you will join us in this mission.

Established in 1998, the RN Shoe Reviews and features provide our readers with independent editorial reviews of the top running footwear six times a year (January, March, May, July, September, November). The larger Spring and Fall Reviews focus on performance running/training footwear. The reviews in January and July focus on Trail, the May review is Best Shoes under $80, and a review of Quarter 2 and Quarter 4 shoes are available in July and December. For our prep titles, we also review XC racing shoes, track spikes, and team apparel, and youth running shoes.

The Shoe Reviews are two to six pages in length. RN footwear and apparel reviewer Cregg Weinmann manages a team of 350 weartesters, who are rigorously tested by a podiatrist to determine the correct shoe category for their involvement. The weartesters compile both anecdotal and quantitive results on a proprietary website developed by Weinmann and his team, using a unique software application. The writeups are based on this information as well as Weinmann’s own examination. The projects are coordinated and edited by Christine Johnson and the final reviews are then provided to our publications for use in their publications. We present the reviews as the starting point in each runner’s journey to find the perfect running shoe for them. Once they’ve checked out our reviews, we encourage them to visit their local specialty running store to give shoes a test run. We support the Independent Running Retailers Association (IRRA).

Our reviews are also available at www.runnningnetwork.com, as will a new feature: a regular new-product review.

RUNNING NETWORK TELEVISION CHANNEL The Running Network Television Channel (runningnetwork.com/rntv) was officially launched in April 2008. During the past 21⁄2 years, the channel has provided national and international programming to hundreds of thousands of viewers. In 2008, our cameras covered the 2008 U.S. Track & Field Olympic Trials, the Beijing Olympics, Marathon Oasis de Montreal, and the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon on the international scene, as well as the NCAA Cross Country Championships, Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon, John Hancock Boston Marathon, and other top marathons in the U.S. In 2009, our cameras brought our viewers the Antarctica Marathon, Comrades Marathon, and the IAAF World Championships in Berlin.

We were especially proud of our coverage of the U.S. Track & Field Olympic Trials which generated over 100,000 viewers during the event. Our reporters include Larry Eder and Jennie McCafferty of the Running Network, as well as Olympians Paul McMullen and Gary Morgan. www.runningnetwork.com
