ABOUT US
We met almost five years ago at work and both participated in our company’s running club. Although, we’ve had dreams of one day becoming Dash from the movie Incredibles, we could never consider ourselves elite runners. Yet, we smile each time we have the opportunity to pound the pavement and trails as we have a passion for running and all that it stands for. For us running has giving us a sense of connection and humility – except for when we compete with each other.
It is this passion of running and enthusiasm to help, educate, and be there for the running community that has giving us the opportunity to dream and turn that dream into a reality. That dream materialized when Robert was let go from his company after 10 years of tenure. Or as we jokingly refer to our “nightmare” began that faithful day as opening a business was no walk in the park.
Robert is the product guru of the business. He is constantly reading reviews on footwear, apparel and running accessories. He is a source of information for any novice or experience runner. He loves to read about elite runners but most especially about New Jersey’s finest young track & field athletes. Anyone that talks to Robert about running knows that he can speak endless hours on the subject. Yes, there have been moments when his friends and colleagues had to shake him out of his running trance. So if you have any questions on proper footwear, Robert is the one to seek in the store – but beware of his running trance. This leaves us to the other co-owner Evette.
You will see Evette by the corner of your eyes as she shyly and quietly moves about the store taking inventory to ensure the store has all the customer’s necessities, moving items around, or upstairs crunching numbers. With her innovative ways and intuitive nature she has given the store an edge to better service the customers in hopes to provide them with an enjoyable and relaxed experience in the store. You can approach Evette and ask her your questions on running apparels and accessories. She is especially keen on the importance on having the appropriate gear for running.
Together our goal is to provide our customers with a friendly environment where we can help them achieve their aspiration.
