In the early 1980s, Bob Anderson sold a good portion of his publications, including "Runner's World". Some of Anderson's books went out of print while others were distributed by Macmillan Publishing. Robert Rodale of Rodale Inc., purchased "Runner's World" in 1985 and the editorial offices moved to Rodale's base in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. Joe Henderson did not move to Emmaus, and stepped down as editor, though he remained associated with the magazine until 2003. Random House bought the running log, which was published under the "Runner's World" name for decades after the sale.
