It's cool to see Richmond make this list, representing the mid-Atlantic! While our fall training programs' official goal race is Capstone Event Group's City of Oaks Marathon right here in Raleigh, we have dozens of runners make the trip up to Richmond every fall, and it's certainly one of our favorites. What's your goal race this fall? Will you be racing locally, or traveling? https://lnkd.in/d3R4vbng

One of the best parts about working at Fleet Feet is getting to collaborate with amazing running brands and try out the best new gear. Thanks to Mizuno USA and CEP for giving us a little extra attention in June through special staff clinics and education as well as awesome demo runs where members of our community were able to come out to test products and give valuable feedback!

One of the best parts of the job! We love having the opportunity to get out in the community to share tips, information, and motivation!

Great recap of our recent fitting at the Boys and Girls Club from Running Insight... "'It was such a privilege to partner with Saucony to serve the Boys and Girls Club of Raleigh by providing a premium fit experience and footwear giveaway to students who might not otherwise enjoy this type of opportunity,' says Sharon Kyner, marketing director and community outreach, Fleet Feet Raleigh/Morrisville. “'I can’t think of a better way to embody the Fleet Feet ethos that ‘Running Changes Everything’ than to spend the afternoon giving back to our local community through the power of running.'” Fleet Feet Meagan Nedlo

We had a great Sunday afternoon representing Fleet Feet at Haven House Services's annual Battle of the Bags tournament. Haven House serves local youth in need. If you're not familiar with this amazing organization, check it out!

On June 1, 1976, two remarkable women set out to change the way we run. Sally and Elizabeth brought grit, spunk, determination, and an unmatched spirit to the running world. Since then, the Fleet Feet brand has come a long way from that Victorian house in downtown Sacramento. The original vision of inspiring everyone to run and encouraging a healthy, active lifestyle remains strong 48 years later. With nearly 300 stores coast to coast, Fleet Feet continues to be a community-oriented business driven by people who love running and their communities.

Earlier this month, in the lead up to Fleet Feet's annual conference, our team had the honor of working with Saucony and representatives of stores around the country to fit more than 300 kids from the Boys & Girls Clubs Serving Wake County with new Saucony running shoes!

And thanks to all of the volunteers who joined us, and the kids from the Boys & Girls Club for welcoming us in and making this such a fun day. There's nothing like fresh pair of running shoes! #wakebgc #saucony #fleetfeet #activategood #togetherwemove

Last week, the Triangle played host to Fleet Feet's annual Vendor Partner Conference. Our store managers and buying team had the opportunity to view new and exciting products, hear directly from industry leaders, reconnect with old friends, and literally #RunTogether. Thanks to the Fleet Feet Store Support Team for their hard work putting together this amazing event, and to all of our vendor partners, who work constantly to make our jobs easy!

We had a blast at Activate Good's "Wellness in the Workplace" summit last week. Such an inspiring group. We're lucky to have the opportunity to be part of such an amazing community.
