About the Trak Shak

The Trak Shak, established in 1995 by Valerie McLean, is the premier running destination in Birmingham. With our experienced and knowledgeable staff, weekly group runs, race packet pick ups, and a great selection of apparel, accessories and footwear, we provide incomparable service to the runner! Over the years, we’ve learned our fit process isn’t just for runners! Whether you are walking, jogging, standing, cross-fitting, or just have issues finding the perfect fitting shoe, we can help you! Visit one of our three conveniently located shops in Downtown Homewood, on 280 in Inverness or in Hoover at the corner of Brock’s Gap Parkway and Stadium Trace.

It’s quite possibly our favorite Wednesday night of the year, that one when the time has sprung forward, the days are longer and we can actually run in daylight! We like to celebrate this day! Join us at 5:30. Altra will be on hand with demo shoes for you to take out for a little test run. Enjoy a jog thru the streets of Homewood on a 3 or 5 mile course with your friends. Afterwards, we’re bringing out the grill and going to cook up some burgers and dogs! We’d love to give back as well, so we’re collecting canned food items for the Firehouse Shelter. We hope to see you here!!
