In a statement, the owners said..."We made the difficult decision that Running Times will no longer be published beyond its January/February issue. This will enable Runner's World, which already serves runners of all ages and abilities, to broaden its ambitions, connect with runners in new ways, and cover our sport more deeply as it begins its 50th year of publication."
Running Times had a circulation of 105,000 copies compared to 660,000 for Runners World. The UK version of Runners World sells 86,000 copies.
With some much content now available for free on the net via websites and Facebook, newspaper and magazine sales have been in a downward spiral for the last few years. The closure of Running Times may well be the first of several in the sector.
