The home of running
At House of Rec, this is not a typical run store, it’s a destination built for runners.
Our flagship space is the largest run specialty store in the Southern Hemisphere, designed around the full running experience, not just the purchase. From expert fittings with runners who actually train, to our in-store wear test program and secure lockers so you can head out for a run straight from the store, everything is built to support your journey.
You’ll find the widest range of running shoes, apparel, trail gear, and nutrition all in one place, alongside a community of runners at every level.
Whether you’re chasing a PB, building consistency, or just getting started, this is a space to run, connect, and experience something different from a normal run store.
Come and say hi
The House of Rec team are runners first. Every staff member spends time training on the road and trails, so advice is based on real training and real wear-testing, not sales scripts. From expert shoe fittings to honest gear recommendations, you’ll get help from people who actually run.
The store is led by Zach, a long-distance runner across road and trail. You’ll usually find him training in the adidas Evo SL for faster sessions, Nike Vomero Plus for long easy runs, and the HOKA Speedgoat on the trails. His favourite races include the Bondi to Manly coastline and the Sun Run.
What's on in Rosebery
Run Routes
Rosebery offers one of the best mixes of road running access in Sydney, with flat open stretches, park loops and easy links into some of the city’s most popular running routes. From the store, runners can head through Alexandria and Zetland for easy aerobic mileage, loop around Centennial Park for steady long runs and workouts, or connect into the bays and city routes via Green Square and Waterloo. The area is mostly flat and fast, making it ideal for tempo sessions, marathon pacing and higher-volume training blocks.
Coffee & Food
Post-run fuel is easy around Rosebery, with plenty of strong options within walking distance of the store. Locals regularly stop by Lune Croissanterie for coffee and pastries, while nearby favourites like Black Star Pastry, Three Blue Ducks and The Cannery precinct offer plenty of options for breakfast, recovery meals or a longer post-run catch-up. If you’re after something quick and convenient, there are also plenty of cafés scattered through Rosebery and Alexandria just minutes from the store.
Local Knowledge
Not sure where to run or refuel? Ask the team in-store. We’re regularly running these routes ourselves and can point you toward the best easy loops, workout locations, long run extensions and coffee stops depending on what you’re training for.
