About Us

We opened the doors for business on May 5, 2003. We carry a good selection of quality running shoes. If you are not sure what specific shoe, or for that matter what type of shoe, would work best for you, we will take the time to understand your needs, your running style and your foot type, and we will help get you in a pair of shoes that are comfortable right out of the box.

We have running apparel that performs well and looks great so that you’re running comfortably and looking good doing it, performance running socks, insoles and all manner of accessories.  If you don’t see what you’re looking for, let us know and we’ll do our best to get it for you.

And if you weren’t aware we are Tulsa’s Track & Field and Cross Country spike headquarters.  In season we carry a full assortment of shoes for pretty much all running and field events. 

You really do need to check us out!

Our Team

Trani Matthews
Trani MatthewsThe Tulsa Runner Guy
My name is Trani Matthews. (Come visit me at the store some time, and I will explain the derivation of my name. It is a bit involved to go into here.) I have enjoyed running virtually all my life, though I didn’t really get the bug till college. I run because I enjoy the act of running itself, and because I feel better physically and mentally when I’m running regularly. I consider myself very much a recreational runner, though I tend to be pretty competitive once I get out there. I enjoy racing pretty regularly and have run 17 marathons and many half marathons and shorter races.
My current running goals are to keep running and training as long as I’m able and as long as it continues to be fun.  I’ll never be as fast as I once was, but I’ll keep trying to be as fast as I can be.

This is Philip.  He’s not with Tulsa Runner anymore, but I just don’t have the heart to take his picture off the page.  If you need some good financial planning/management help, Philip is your man at Edward Jones.

After working over 26 years in the corporate retail world, Julie decided to “retire” and start her own fitness studio. She used to hang out here to support her running and triathlon habit and her plans to run a marathon in all 50 states.  More recently though Julie has been working full-time at Clairehouse Hospice but still saving a Sunday afternoon or two a month to hang out with Susie at Tulsa Runner.

Alicia is another alumnus and good friend that I hope to be able to cajole into working at the store a little bit at some point in the future.  In the meantime though, I know she is enjoying hanging out with Joey, Winfield and the girls every chance she gets, while also staying super fit teaching lots of classes at several fitness studios around town.
