First ever women's running magazine hits newsstands

Women’s Running magazine Premieres Today ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (December 23, 2008) – The premiere issue of Women’s Running, the only women-specific running magazine, officially lands on newsstands today, December 23. The magazine is sold at more than 4,000 locations across the globe from Canada to the Czech Republic, and in the U.S. at national book retailers including Barnes & Noble, Borders, Books-A-Million, REI, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Eastern Mountain Sports and other independent, specialty stores. Women’s Running features stories about real women who lead active running lifestyles. However, the magazine is not new to the publishing industry.

Since the name change, the magazine has seen a dramatic increase in subscriptions, newsstand orders, and advertisers. ABOUT WOMEN’S RUNNING MAGAZINE Women’s Running (womensrunningmag.com) is the only women-specific running magazine. Women’s Running covers all aspects of the running lifestyle, from active beauty needs to training plans. The Women’s Running mission is simple: to create a high-quality magazine for smart, successful women who use running to balance and enrich their lives. Women’s Running features quality editorial content that motivates women to train intelligently, participate in active travel, adopt healthy nutrition habits and keep moving. read more...
