About RooSport

My name is Brenda and I am the creator of the RooSport. I am a marathon runner with a love of the sport. I was a stay at home mom with a background in sewing and ran a business machine quilting and custom sewing for local decorators. The idea of the RooSport started in 2005 when I was asked by my running partner to create a pocket for her son who was an elite runner and triathlete. I created a small pocket for him and we pinned it onto his shorts. He loved it! I then created a pocket for myself and sewed it onto my running skirt. During my daily runs I found it so useful that I decided to create a pocket that anyone could use on their existing running wear. One day while running, I came up with the idea of magnets. After several prototypes I developed the design for the RooSport that I liked. I secured a booth at the local marathon and set up a table under a tree in the park. We sold 60 RooSport’s that night and the idea was so well received I realized it was going to be popular. We have spent the last several years working 100+ marathon expos all over the country. People love our product. Runner’s World has named us to their Top 30 Gifts in their annual Buying Guide 3 times! Recently in 2017 they listed our RooSportPlus as one of the most comfortable ways to carry a Plus-Sized phone. We moved our manufacturing from China to the United States. We now have a factory in Salt Lake City, UT. that manufacturers all of our pockets. Read their story
