Atlanta's running scene runs on Big Peach Running Co., the local chain with shops from Midtown to South Fulton and a deep bench of group runs. Road Runner Sports anchors Buckhead on Roswell Road, and neighborhood independents carry the character — Highland Runners in Virginia-Highland and West Stride on the Northside both do hands-on fittings. Traffic is real; shop the side of town you actually live on.

A really great store with a very convenient location. Whether you're an experienced runner who knows exactly what they want or if you're just getting started an need some assistance choosing the right shoes, the staff has the knowledge and equipment to get you in the right pair.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If cardio had a VIP lounge, Big Peach Midtown would be it. Walked in thinking I’d “just browse” and walked out with running shoes so comfortable they feel like cheating. The staff here aren’t just salespeople — they’re like running shoe sommeliers.
Sadly I had to return a pair of shoes I purchased online. Everyone in the store was very friendly the store clean and in order. Justin provided me with some helpful tips when ordering online, he also provided me with a few skew numbers for my future purchase. I love great customer service.
