Community is good! From your local running group to your office walk club. When you find people that love what you do and are there to cheer you on, it boosts your physical and emotional health.  

Sometimes you have to build fitness culture- sometimes it’s already there. The running community is strong. Anyone can happen into a local running store and have a chat with the owner to find a new running group. The likelihood is you’ll be welcomed in with open arms. 

In the spirit of Global Running Day, we sat down with local shoe guru Mike Rush, founder of Rush Running to talk about his business, what he’s been up to, and how he has continued to build the running community in Northwest Arkansas.
