🐶 If you haven’t signed up for Muddy Paws 🐾 what are you waiting for? It’s so much fun and for a great cause! 🐕

❤️ Since its inception in 2005 by WRR partner Vince Rucci, Muddy Paws has become a beloved event. Vince’s passion for running with his rescue dogs inspired this race, and it’s only fitting that it supports the Humane Society of Summit County. The M.A.C. (Mobile Adoption Center) will be at Pine Hollow on race day from 8:00am-11:00am and you might just discover a new trail partner to join you on future adventures! 🐶

🙋🏽‍♀️ We often get asked about our favorites at the store, so we thought why not share what our staff is loving right now…

1️⃣ Mount to Coast C1 - we have been absolutely loving this max cushion trainer! Versatile and comfortable.
2️⃣ Asics GT-2000 14 - if you need a shoe with a little more support, the GT-2000 might be for you. The perfect blend of support, cushion and responsiveness.
3️⃣ Precision Fuel Mint and Lemon 🍋 chews - we introduced Precision Fuel to our store this year, and if you’re someone who gets flavor fatigue, the mint and lemon chews are refreshing and yummy for fueling needs!

👟 Stop and in and check out our favs for yourself!
