Fleet Feet Group Runs

By Kristin Kendle on August 21, 2012

There's a new store preparing to open in early October in the Proctor District-Fleet Feet! To keep you busy until the grand opening, this locally owned sports store is hosting group runs every Tuesday.

Fleet Feet's group runs are open to the public and start at 6:30 p.m. from the still-in-progress storefront at 3812 North 26th Street. Joining in is free! You can walk or you can run, so don't shy away if your feet aren't so fleet!

"There is a three-mile loop and an approximately 6.5-mile loop," says store manager Jena Winger. "The run/walk begins at 6:30 and are typically preceded by a presentation by one of our vendors. In the past few weeks, this has included New Balance, Brooks and Saucony."

The schedule of presentations is available at the store's website: http://www.fleetfeettacoma.com/calendar

Along with the weekly run, Fleet Feet is several weeks into a 10K, Half Marathon, and Full Marathon training program with participants prepping for the You Go Girl 10K/Half or the Portland 10K/Half/Full Marathon.
