Joyment Running Store
The store itself is small and offers mainly shoes by Saucony, On, Alterra and Hoka. All equipment sold is with a focus on Trail running as the owner does semi-professional trail running.
But here is why this small store is on our list. It comes with a not so small running group that has free to join training every evening in front of the store and trail run events on almost every weekend.
The training is split into two groups. Those who join the running team for races start a bit earlier and go with a strict training program made by the shop owner. All others join later for the public training.
Training is different each day, but everyone starts by doing runs on the outer ring of the stadium. The “pros” together in training group, the rest split in small social groups on their own pace. After running there is either a leg workout, core workout or running shape workout.
Water, fruits and snacks are provided by other people joining, so feel free to bring something as well.
The weekend events are usually 10-15k runs in the mountains near Guangzhou
