Meet Sue!
Sue is responsible for the buying of our apparel and accessories at the shop and certainly brings the energy to the floor when fitting customers! Her favorite thing about working at the shop is the team. She says everyone is so positive and she loves being around people that prioritize health and fitness, as it keeps her focused on her own health and fitness goals.
She prefers to keep it short and sweet on her runs these days, leaning more towards a 5K for race day... but she always has snacks in her pockets!

Meet Jon!
Jon is the man behind the buying of the footwear at The Vark... a pretty important gig. Jon's background in running starts at the track and historically he loved to run the 400M and 4x400M relay (not a surprise he was the anchor). Although, now a days he loves a half marathon!
His favorite thing about working at Vark... shoes, shoes & more shoes! When asked, he also said he has always loved being a small part of our customers' journeys of moving forward...fast or slow, short or far... just don't stop moving!
