Where it began
It started with a broken pair of sunglasses.
In 2018, Joe McFerrin bought an expensive pair of designer sunglasses in Austin, Texas. They broke within 24 hours.
So he set out to build something better: sunglasses that could stand up to training, weather, travel and time. Runner's Athletics grew fast, and more than 15,000 athletes and adventurers joined along the way.
Today Joe and Gabby run Runner's Athletics together. The sunglasses are still here, now with a full activewear line built to move with them.
