Running can get expensive in a sneaky way. You’re getting out of paying for a gym membership, but between fresh shoes and race fees, it starts to add up. Fleet Feet’s Never Been Better Summer Series is here to help you take off in less-spendy style with a free social run and sales and specials from top running gear companies, including wear-testing from Alta. If you’re hoping for a successful race season, bring your old shoes to recycle at the altar of Cap10K’s Tiki Totem of Running. Reliable ritual sacrifices like that are hard to come by cheap. – Caroline Drew
