Find Your Nearest Athletic Annex

Three locally owned shops serving runners across central Indiana.

Looking for the best running store near you? Athletic Annex has been outfitting runners across Central Indiana for over 40 years, offering expert shoe fittings, gait analysis, and locally trusted service at our three locations - Nora, Fishers, and Carmel.

We specialize in understanding your unique foot mechanics, mileage, injuries, and training goals. Every fitting begins with a conversation. From there, our trained staff walks you through a personalized assessment, recommending footwear that supports your stride, reduces injury risk, and improves comfort mile after mile.

Whether you're a new runner, a lifelong marathoner, or someone simply looking for everyday comfort, Athletic Annex offers a curated selection of running shoes, walking shoes, spikes, and performance apparel. We carry top brands like Brooks, HOKA, On, New Balance, Saucony, Altra, and more - all chosen because they deliver proven performance for the athletes we serve.

Each location also offers accessories such as nutrition, hydration systems, insoles, socks, recovery tools, and anti-chafe products. If you’re dealing with an injury, our team is trained to identify shoe options and gear that support common issues like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, Achilles pain, and knee discomfort.

Because we’re a locally owned and operated specialty shop, our mission goes beyond selling shoes. Athletic Annex actively supports the Central Indiana running community through group runs, racing sponsorships, youth development programs, and partnerships with schools, clubs, and local events.
