Rock City Running reopened Thursday, June 1, only two short months after the tornado. It wouldn't have been possible without the generosity and support of everyone who donated and participated in the Run to Rebuild Rock City. Rock City Running, Bill Torrey, his wife Carol, and all the store employees thank everyone who donated and made this possible!
The store's new location is in the Market Place Shopping Center at 11121 N. Rodney Parham Road, Suite 37B. The big celebration of the store's reopening and the store's 10-year anniversary was held on Saturday, June 3. The celebration began at 6 a.m. with a Little Rock Marathon training group run from the store and continued throughout the day with food and specials.
Founded in 2013, Rock City Running is family owned, serving customers in the running/walking community. RCR is Little Rock’s local running store, specializing in active and casual footwear, apparel, and accessories for men and women. With a combined 73 years of knowledge, RCR delivers a first-class shopping experience.
