About Run Havoc:

Run Havoc is a new kind of running store for Wollongong. We believe running is more than just a sport — it’s a culture and a community.

Our store is a space for conversation, connection, and gear that blends performance with considered design. We work with brands that share our values — from technical apparel to thoughtfully engineered footwear — and we put as much care into serving our community as we do into curating our shelves.
