Village Runner is a specialty running store offering a vast selection of running shoes for the elite marathoner and the weekend walker. Apparel and accessories are also available at the store’s two local locations.
The highly-trained staff at Village Runner can help any runner select the appropriate shoe, help with injury prevention and suggest proper energy supplements.
“I believe the quality service provided by our friendly, knowledgeable staff is our biggest asset,” said Mike Ward, Owner/CEO of Village Runner. “Our employees all have running experience, many having competed in marathons.”
For more than a decade, the Village Runner has also been promoting running events throughout the South Bay including the St. Patrick’s Day 5K Run/Walk & Kids Dash (which will be Saturday, March 17 at 8 a.m.) and the Village Runner 4th of July 5K where more than 3,000 participants begin their Independence Day festivities in a healthy manner. Portions of the proceeds from the runs have helped numerous charities for more than a decade.
