The Oxford shop sponsors and supports many local races and charities, and enjoys being a part of the local running community. With glowing articles in the Sunday Times and Oxford Times, the shop in Headington has built up a good reputation over the years offering help and advice and support on all aspects of running.

Scott is the Oxford store manager: I have been in the health and fitness industry for 7 years. As a qualified personal trainer and runner myself, I know a fair amount on the topic. Whether it be advice on product, training or dealing with an injury; I would like to see you right. All of our warm freindly staff pride themselves on customer service and honest advice. No matter where you are, entry level walker or profesional ultra marathon compeditor, we'll help where we can. See you in store!

Gareth is a keen local runner who comes from a cross-country background and mainly prefers 10k to half-marathon distances in and around the city centre where he lives.

Sam is a keen sportsman, currently studying osteopathy at Brookes University, he can provide great advice and has superb knowledge of the body and many running related injuries and conditions, he is very enthusiastic and friendly.


Running shoes with the right cushioning and support for you will make training and racing easier.
Take the guesswork out of buying your next pair - a few minutes on the treadmill and the help of our knowledgable staff is all it takes. (Please bring along your current running shoes for comparison.)

Oxford Brookes Athletics Club Reviews

Nike XC Waffle Spikes

Overall a great XC shoe and offers a fusion of lightness and excellent support - excelling particularly in mud/dirt. There are only four spike receptacles, so advise 'upgrading' to a 12mm spike - but other than that, a great running shoe.
By Ben Cross (Brookes Number 1 Runner)

Lunar Racer

As far as racing shoes go there is no competition. As a lad who enjoys going through racing shoes monthly, this is the best one yet. 156 grams do shoes come any lighter. As well as been stupidly light they have looked after my feet with a good level of cushioning.
By Sam Kitching

More Reviews ...

NUUN is a super effective easily absorbable dissolvable tablet that provides optimal hydration by providing the body with the main macro minerals in just the right amounts. It has a good taste but does not have an overpowering flavour like some other sports drinks.
It comes in a nice compact tube that is easy to carry around or take with you on the run.
NUUN is sugar free and has no carbs, fats or proteins, so doesn't give any energy, but for the runner who is trying to burn body fat NUUN is perfect, because every reaction in your body takes place at a moistened (hydrated level) and you can not burn body fat in the presence of insulin in your body (caused by any intake of sugar!) So NUUN really is the perfect solution!
The tablets are quick and easy to dissolve with no fizzing or mess, you could even make your own instant drink on the run! Far more convenient than the traditional scoop of powder in a shaker!
Say goodbye to cramps and all the horrid symptoms of dehydration and say hello to longevity and greater health!
