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.

SHAK TALK: A new monthly series where we bring our local experts on running and other subjects to our Homewood location, serve some food and learn some things! Our inaugural Shak Talk will be presented by Bearu Bear and Seth Graham from The F.A.R.M discussing Alternative Approaches to Common Running Injuries. We’ve all had them! From Plantar Fasciitis to Runners Knee, these guys know it all! Please join us at 6:30 PM!
