Charles River Running
After 14 wonderful years in Norwood Center we are closing our business. It was a job of lifetime and a pure joy serving local runners, walkers, workers, student athletes and folks in need of a properly fitted pair of shoes. We thank everyone for their business and loyal support. Please check back often for our updated hours and last day of business. We’re still in the area and will be busy on our micro flower farm, Dorothy’s Garden. Check us out at dorothysflowergarden.com and over on Instagram at @dorothysflowergarden. You can find our gorgeous bouquets at the Dedham Farmer’s Market on Wednesdays or the South Boston Farmer’s Market on Mondays. Until then, see you out on the roads and trails - keep moving!

“One of the most pleasant experiences I have had. I was sized & fitted by Charlotte… & was even invited to the running club while checking out! Shop small & you will never regret. I went into multiple brand name stores where no one had a clue what I needed or even the ambition to help me.”
