At Runners Need, we have always believed that it`s never too late to start running. Just ask our founder Chris Bould, who didnt set out on his first run until the age of 26, when he joined the Highgate Harriers in 1979.Inspired by his experience in the USA, where he raced in the New York City Marathon and visited their specialist running retailers, Chris and his wife Judy founded the first Runners Need in Camden in 1982.
