Some treatment modalities have been used to prevent or treat running-related musculoskeletal injuries, among them, gait retraining. This study aimed to evaluate street runners’ knowledge, interest, and preference for gait retraining programs and assess if these aspects differ between runners with and without history of injury. This is a cross-sectional study with 100 runners. Initially, a text showing what gait retraining was about was presented to participants. Then, they answered questions about their knowledge (yes x no) and interest (yes x no) on the programs. Subsequently, a text showing how fully and partially supervised programs would be conducted was offered to participants. Then, they reported their preference for one of them (fully x partially supervised). We found that most athletes were unaware of gait retraining programs (69.8%), though they showed great interest in performing them after explanation (87.1%). We observed no preference for a fully (48.2%) or partially supervised (51.8%) protocol. We also found a statistical difference in knowledge (p=0.029) in favor of participants with history of injury. Despite the growing evidence available, we observed that most runners lack any prior knowledge of this modality. Due to thegreat interest and lack of preference for different protocols shown, we suggest that healthcare providers who treat this population offer the programs described to patients
