I'm fairly new to the Melbourne area and I was wondering if someone could tell me some running stores in the area, including their suburb. I'd really appreciate your help!

There is a list on the Australia Running Guide.

For me it's Leo Russell's in Preston (shoes) and Runners World in Kew (clothing).

Active Feet in Heathmont (Cantebury Road) or Prahan for Shoes the first time. Once I know what suits, the US via the Internet.

For gear, all over the place, just chain store stuff

I guess that the $2.5mill per year for a 10year contract was a bit steep.
Apparently a Telstra shop will go in there instead. Not sure when, but it will be soon.

Are they moving to another location or pulling out of Melbourne?
