run·ning — the action of movement.
our story
our story starts at a high school running camp in 1999, though we didn't realize it at the time.
two decades of miles later — through college tracks, city streets, mountain trails, and more start lines than we can count — we found ourselves still chasing the same thing: freedom on foot and people to share it with.
syndicate is an independent running community built for those who care about what they wear, why they run, and who they run with. obsessed by the process, we're committed to supporting them whether it's a mile or a marathon.
we seek out the brands that get it right — gear built to withstand the elements, designed by people who actually run in what they make. long days, dark nights, calm mornings. we find the gear that lets you dictate the run, not the weather.
our taste is shaped by where we run. midwest grit and pacific northwest rain. city streets meet deep woods.
our commitment is to show up. we share the common interest of movement and community. it's easier to lace up when you have someone else to run with.
come run with us.
