About Us

Running Wylder was founded by Katie Douglas, a lifelong runner + former design director.

It was her return to running post-partum, post-pandemic that sparked the idea of a running store, one that featured the products she was unable to find offline, inspired by the many boutiques she's visited throughout her former life in the fashion world.

Running might be a sport performed singular, but it's uplifted by the community that surrounds it, and Running Wylder was created to be a hub for runners + non-runners alike.

No matter how few or far you run, you belong here.
