Join us for a New Balance demo run spotlighting the brand-new 1080v15, featuring Infinion foam—New Balance’s latest midsole innovation. This new supercritical foam delivers a lighter, more resilient, and noticeably bouncier ride, while still keeping the plush, high-cushion feel the 1080 is known for. Translation: softer landings, better energy return, and no “bottoming out” on longer runs.

We’ll head out for 1–3 easy, conversational miles with options for all paces. You’ll also have access to a range of New Balance shoes to test, but the 1080v15 is the star of the show—built for daily miles, long runs, and staying comfortable through winter training.

After the run, we’ll head back to the store for coffee, snacks, and post-run hangs.

Friends help friends get out and moving in the cold. Bundle up, bring a buddy, and come try what’s next from New Balance.

Switch up your Sunday routine with us.

After the run, we’re not done.

Mirabel from CHAR Fitness Club will lead a 30-minute bodyweight strength session designed specifically for runners. No equipment. No intimidation. Just smart, effective movements to help you get stronger and stay healthy.

And once we’ve earned it?

For the past couple years people around the world, especially within the running community, have pledged to walk, jog or run 2.23 miles, symbolic of the day Ahmaud Arbery was gunned down while running on February 23, 2020.

Fleet Feet Montclair, Black Men Run and Saucony are joining together to host a 2.23 mile run to honor Arbery’s life and advocate for racial equality.

One hundred percent of registration fees and funds donated will support Black Men Run. The Black Men Run Foundation is a nonprofit organization with a mission of encouraging health and wellness among African American men by promoting a culture of running/jogging to stay fit, resulting in “A Healthy Brotherhood.”

Join us as we run in solidarity, celebrate community, and continue the call for justice and equality.
