For 26 incredible years, The Runners’ Den has been more than just a running store—it has been a gathering place for a community brought together by a love of running, walking, fitness, and friendship.
At the end of August, Paul and Penny will no longer be lacing up your shoes. Instead, we are excited to pass the torch to Evan Moore, a successful runner, entrepreneur, and the owner of Fit First. We know Evan shares our passion for helping people move, achieve their goals, and enjoy the best possible customer experience. We are confident he will continue the tradition of exceptional service and expert fitting that you’ve come to expect from The Runners’ Den.
From our family to yours, thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives. Whether we helped fit your very first pair of running shoes, celebrated a personal best, or simply shared stories across the counter, every interaction has been a privilege.
While this marks the end of one chapter for our family, it is also the beginning of an exciting new one for the store. We hope you’ll continue to support Evan and his team just as generously as you’ve supported us over the past 26 years. THANK YOU!
Thank you for every mile, every race, every conversation, and every memory. It has truly been an honor to serve this amazing community.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Paul Slaymaker & Penny Plamondon
