Gearshop Sessions November 2026 - A Night for the Runners
Footwear. Fuel. Running gear. And a chance to put it all to the test.
Join us at Gearshop Richmond on Thursday 19 November for the next Gearshop Sessions - this time with an evening dedicated to running.
Presented by Salomon and Never Second, the night will cover footwear, running vests and fuelling for both training and race day, with plenty of practical advice, product knowledge and time to ask questions.
And this one won’t just be about talking.
You’ll also get the chance to head out for a short 20–30 minute run and test some of the Salomon running shoes for yourself!
Thursday 19 November
5.30pm–8.00pm
Gearshop Richmond, 213 Queen Street
This event is designed as one complete evening, so your registration covers the full programme. Limited to 35 people, so RSVP below to reserve your spot.
What’s happening on the night
Salomon: Running Footwear
With Ben Brown
Choosing the right running shoe can make a big difference to comfort, performance and how you feel out on the trail or road.
Ben will talk through Salomon’s running footwear range, what to consider when choosing a shoe, and how different models are designed for different runners, terrain and distances.
You’ll also have the chance to ask questions and get advice on finding the right shoe for you.
Salomon: Running Vests
With Ben Brown
Whether you’re heading out for a longer training run, trail run or race, the right running vest can make carrying your gear, nutrition and hydration much easier.
Ben will talk through Salomon’s running vest options, including fit, capacity, features and what to consider when choosing the right vest for the type of running you do.
There’ll be plenty of opportunity to look at the gear, try it on and ask questions.
Never Second: Fuelling Your Runs
With Mark Drew
What you eat and drink during a run can have a big impact on how you perform and how you feel.
Mark will talk about fuelling for both everyday training and race day, including how much fuel you may need, when to take it, and how to build a fuelling strategy that works for you.
Whether you’re training for an event or simply want to feel better on longer runs, this session will give you practical information you can put into action.
Take the shoes for a run
We’ll also head out for a 20–30 minute run, with Ben and Mark joining us.
Salomon will have a range of running shoes available to test, giving you the opportunity to try them in real conditions rather than just walking around the shop.
When you register, we’ll ask for your shoe size so Ben can bring a suitable range of shoes for the night.
The run will be suitable for a range of abilities and speeds, so you don’t need to be a fast runner to take part.
More happening throughout the evening
There’ll be plenty of opportunity to:
- check out Salomon footwear and running vests
- sample and learn more about Never Second nutrition
- ask Ben and Mark your running and gear questions
- test the Salomon shoes
- browse the Gearshop range, with special offers available on the night
