Brooks posts strong start to 2026

US brand Brooks Running reported double-digit growth in the first quarter of 2026, with sales rising 20% in North America and 30% in EMEA on a currency-neutral basis. Revenue in China increased by 136% year on year.

chief executive officer Dan Sheridan said the results reflected strong execution and continued demand for the brand’s products.

Brooks maintained its leading position in US specialty running retail and held around 20% market share nationally for the 11th consecutive quarter.

Growth was supported by new product launches, including the Glycerin Flex, as well as strong performance from core models such as the Glycerin and Adrenaline GTS. Apparel sales also increased, rising 33% year on year.

The company also introduced changes to its leadership structure during the quarter to support further global expansion.
