[Peachtree Corners, GA, May 12, 2026] -Mizuno Running is proud to announce a series of organizational updates aimed at deepening its investment in the specialty run channel and the communities that continue to drive the sport forward. As run specialty retailers remain at the heart of the running experience, serving as trusted resources, gathering spaces, and gateways for runners of all levels, Mizuno remains passionately committed to supporting the channel through stronger partnerships, elevated service, and continued product innovation.
To support this ongoing momentum, Mizuno Running has made several key leadership changes across product, marketing, and field support teams.
Drew Magaha has been promoted to Product Manager, succeeding Toshihiko Daimon as he returns to Mizuno Japan in Osaka. Drew brings a unique combination of product knowledge, marketing experience, and a passion for the sport that will help continue to drive thoughtful innovation and performance-focused product creation for runners and specialty retail partners alike.
Will Cutler will continue leading consumer-focused marketing efforts for Mizuno Running, with an increased emphasis on building brand energy and driving runners into specialty run stores. With experience spanning both run specialty and marketing, Will has played a key role in helping Mizuno become one of the fastest-growing running brands on social media, according to SGB Media, while maintaining a strong focus on supporting retail partners and the broader running community.
Erin Prather has been promoted from Running Brand Specialist in the New England region to lead the Running Brand Specialist team nationally. Erin’s years of experience working directly within the specialty channel have helped foster meaningful relationships with retailers and authentic community connections, making her a natural fit to guide the team moving forward.
In addition to these personnel changes, Mizuno Running has implemented several operational improvements designed to better support retail partners and simplify business processes, including updates to shipping rates and enhancements to its returns policy.
As Mizuno Running continues to grow within the specialty channel, these organizational investments reflect the brand’s long-term commitment to supporting retailers, serving runners, and continuing to move the sport forward together.
