Local star Fit2Run opens new runner’s store in Water Street Tampa” — and the excitement across the city is unmistakable. This Fit2Run Water Street Tampa opening brings a fresh wave of running culture, premium athletic shops, and community-building energy to one of the city’s fastest-growing districts. The new space continues what has made Fit2Run a beloved local brand while strengthening Tampa’s identity as a fitness-forward destination.
A 1,614-Square-Foot Haven for Runners
This brand-new 1,614-square-foot space is packed with everything runners and athletes love. The store features athletic footwear, performance apparel, and trail-ready accessories, along with major brands like Lululemon, On, Brooks, Nike, and ASICS — plus several emerging labels making their Tampa debut. Each product reflects the region’s rapidly expanding running scene, delivering top-tier quality to both seasoned runners and beginners.

Free Video Gait Analysis for “Personalized Insights”
One standout feature of the new location is its free video analysis that provides “personalized insights to help runners find footwear that matches their stride.” This advanced service helps athletes improve performance, reduce injury risk, and identify the best footwear for their unique motion. It’s a professional-level service — now easily accessible in downtown Tampa.
Pop-Up Today, Permanent Home Coming
Fit2Run says this new store will operate as a pop-up until a permanent location in Water Street Tampa is secured. The timing is intentional — the brand wanted runners to enjoy the shop before the 2026 Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic, one of Tampa’s biggest and most energetic events that draws thousands of runners each year. This move aligns with the brand’s commitment to serving the city’s active community and being part of Tampa’s major running moments.
Supporting Tampa Bay’s Running Community
Beyond retail, Fit2Run has built a strong reputation through its support for the local fitness scene. Its organized runs, community meet-ups, and wellness-focused events have created a loyal and passionate runner base. This new shop marks the second Tampa location, joining a network of 45 locations nationwide — a massive achievement for a company that began right here in Tampa Bay.
