Complete Runner has been serving the running community for over 42 years. Founded by Terry and Pat Lonergan in Ilkley, West Yorkshire, we started just before the running boom of the early ’80s. Originally trading as Terry Lonergan Sports, we now operate as The Complete Runner Ltd, incorporating our exclusive Fastrax athletics apparel brand. Our mission has always been to offer runners of all levels the best products available. Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or just starting out, our extensive range of running shoes, gear, and accessories is curated to support your performance.
Terry is an accomplished and passionate runner who has raced competitively in all disciplines including fell, trail, cross country, track and on the roads. With two marathon wins and three half marathon wins now a distant memory, and PBs very much a thing of the past, like so many it would have been easy to give up on the competitive side of running. Not so! Terry’s semi-retirement gives him even more time to pursue new targets. You can read more about his athletic achievements on the power of 10 websites.
What sets us apart is our specialised expertise in helping every customer find the perfect pair of running shoes. Our store is curated by runners, for runners. Each member of our team is a seasoned runner, with a deep understanding of how to select the right footwear for individual needs. We take pride in offering personalised advice that ensures you get the best shoes for your specific goals, whether you’re looking for comfort, performance, or durability.
We also offer a thriving online store, with fast delivery or in-store pickup available, bringing you the latest in running technology to help you enjoy and excel in your sport.

From the East (Leeds/Bradford)
We are on the left about 1 mile past McDonald’s (formerly Kashmiri Aroma restaurant) which is near the end of the Burley by-pass. We are just past the Tesco petrol station – on the same side of the road.
From the West (Keighley/Skipton)
We are on the right about 1.5 miles from the traffic lights in the centre of Ilkley, in the direction of Leeds. Look out for the Texaco petrol station – we are just a few yards past it on the opposite side.
