Why the Heck Does America Love Running So Much?

Doesn’t it seem like everyone and their mother are running marathon’s nowadays? Not gonna lie, we’re hooked too. Grace is half-marathon coaching starting Nov. 30th and Eli even decided to commit to run a spring half. Woah.

We even stood on a concrete concourse last Thursday and Friday for 16 hours selling snacks to people who WILLINGLY paid good money to run 26.2 miles at last weekend’s Richmond marathon. Talk about crazy.

Richmond, Virginia, where we’re based, is run happy. Also bike happy, coffee happy, and snack happy. That’s why we’ve teamed up with two amazing community partners, Lucky Road Run Shop, and the biggest run club in Richmond, The Effect Run Club. We are co-hosting a FREE event THIS SATURDAY from 9-12 PM at Carillon Lawn at Byrd Park. Check out all the details here and let us know that you’re coming here. We can’t wait to celebrate the fitness community!

Below is a run of show -

9 AM: Shoe demo with Hoka - try the newest shoes by Hoka and even run a few miles in them!

9:30 AM: 2-mile fun run led by Effect Run Club

10:30: Gentle Yoga led by Midtown Yoga

11 AM: Cool Down Stretch led by Midtown Yoga

We’re also raffling off a brand new pair of Shokz and a pair of Hoka shoes of your choosing!

All skills and fitness levels are welcome. This is a chill, no frills, no stress event. Don’t feel like running or yoga-ing? Totally cool - throughout the event, we will have local RVA vendors sampling and food trucks selling breakfast items. We are expecting 250+ people to attend, and we hope that you’re one of them. Bring your friends and bring the dang energy! See you Saturday.
