A Month of Running and Community Engagement

From September 21 through October 18, Academy Sports + Outdoors (often referred to as simply Academy) is excited to announce Brooks Month, a dedicated period highlighting one of the leading brands in performance running gear. This month-long celebration not only showcases the latest styles in footwear and apparel but also emphasizes Academy's commitment to supporting the running community at all experience levels.

This initiative underscores the strong partnership between Academy Sports + Outdoors and Brooks, as they work together to provide customers with the best running gear available. Shoppers can explore an extensive selection of over 50 Brooks footwear styles, including popular models like the Glycerin 23, Ghost 18, and Adrenaline GTS 25, along with new apparel and accessories that enhance every run.

Kickoff Event: “Roll Call”

Brooks Month officially started with a vibrant community event, “Roll Call,” held on September 19 in Houston, Texas, Academy’s home base. Hosted by the Loose Lace Run Club, this gathering united local runners to experience Brooks products firsthand, fostering a spirit of connection and shared enthusiasm for running and an active lifestyle.

Frank Fanelli, Vice President and Divisional Merchandise Manager at Academy, shared his excitement: “Brooks has been a trusted partner for Academy and our customers for years, and Brooks Month gives us an opportunity to showcase the breadth of the brand while celebrating the running community.”

This initiative aims to assist runners of all levels in finding the right footwear, apparel, and coaching that enhance their running journey.
