Welcome to The Good Run: Cairns’ First Dedicated Running Store
Share
We’re so excited to introduce The Good Run — Cairns’ first dedicated running store, opening mid-January located, Ground Floor at Crystalbrook Bailey on the corner of Lake Street, and Aplin Street.
The Good Run was born from a simple idea: everyone deserves to feel good on their feet. Whether you’re a marathoner, a weekend jogger, a teacher on your feet all day, a nurse powering through night shifts, or just someone who walks the Esplanade with a coffee in hand — the right footwear can genuinely change your life.
And until now, Cairns didn’t have a place focused entirely on helping people find that perfect fit.
We’re here to change that.
Why Cairns Needed a Running Store Made Just for Us
Cairns has one of the most enthusiastic running scenes in Australia — stunning routes, perfect sunrises, and a community that genuinely shows up.
But when it came to running shoes and proper fitting, locals were often left to:
- Guess their size
- Buy online without advice
- Make do with generic sports store fittings
- Wear the wrong shoes because they weren’t sure what they needed
We’ve seen the blisters, the shin splints, the knee pain, the “why do my feet go numb?” questions, and we knew Cairns deserved better.
What Makes The Good Run Different
1. Expert Shoe Fitting With No Ego
Our fittings are friendly, simple and designed for all ages, body types and experience levels. We measure, assess, listen and match you with options that suit your feet and lifestyle — not trends.
2. Shoes Designed for FNQ Conditions
Humidity, heat, tropical sweat and mixed terrain mean you need breathable, durable, supportive footwear. We’ve curated brands and models that thrive here.
3. A Place Where Beginners Feel Welcome
You don’t need to run.
You don’t need to know what pronation means.
You don’t need to be “fit enough.”
You just need to show up.
4. Community at the Heart
We’re building more than a store. We’re creating:
- Run clubs
- Workshops
- Physio & podiatry education sessions
- Kids’ fittings
- Community events
- Training talks
- Local collaborations
5. All the Brands you Know and Some You're Yet to Meet
We will be stocking all the brands you love, and even a few you may be yet to met. Think;
Because running feels better together.
