Running Room

Running Room Hawaii was established in March 1976 at 819 Kapahulu Avenue in Honolulu, Hawaii. Created as a place where runners could hang out and talk running while finding the right equipment. The specialty running shop was modelled after a popular local surf shop. Kapahulu Avenue was chosen for it’s location and proximity to the University of Hawaii and to Kapiolani Park, the centre of running in Honolulu, both then and now.

When the store first opened, it carried brands like Nike, Tiger, New Balance, and Adidas running shoes. At that time, the price of Nike’s best shoe, the Waffle Trainer, was $29.95. The store also sold private label Running Room shorts and singlets. Very little running apparel was available at that time. During the running boom of the late 1970’s and early 1980’s the Running Room became the premier specialty running store in the Pacific. In 1978 the Running Room moved to 559 Kapahulu Avenue, where it operated until the end of 1991. The Running Room then moved to a bigger location, 768 Kapahulu Avenue. In November 1996, the Running Room moved to its current location at 819 Kapahulu Ave. The Running Room today is still the place for runners and operated by runners who love to talk about running. In March 2014 the Hawaii Running Room became part of the family of Running Room USA Inc.

Gatorade

Gatorade helps athletes recover and rebuild. In early summer of 1965, a University of Florida assistant coach sat down with a team of university physicians and asked them to determine why so many of his players were being affected by heat and heat related illnesses. The researchers — Dr Robert Cade, Dr Dana Shires, Dr H. James Free and Dr Alejandro de Quesada — soon discovered two key factors that were causing the Gator players to ‘wilt’: the fluids and electrolytes the players lost through sweat were not being replaced, and the large amounts of carbohydrates the players’ bodies used for energy were not being replenished. The researchers then took their findings into the lab, and scientifically formulated a new, precisely balanced carbohydrate-electrolyte beverage that would adequately replace the key components lost by Gator players through sweating and exercises. They called their concoction ‘Gatorade’.
