📢📢BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📰🗞️

Our 25th Anniversary Celebration got too big for our parking lot.

Seriously.

With so many vendors, brands, and special guests joining us for High Desert Miles, we had to find a bigger venue. So we're taking the party to Santa Fe Brewing Company Headquarters on July 11! And let's be honest, we all know Santa Fe Brewery knows how to party. 😎🍺💪

Join us for an epic day featuring:

🍻Group run with marathon legend Bill Rodgers in the morning
🍻Vendors from across the running industry
🍻Huge deals on shoes, apparel, and gear
🍻Select items priced like it's 2001 (the year we opened!)
🍻Santa Fe's ORIGIONAL craft beer; brewed fresh since 1988!

Run with us at 8:00 AM at Santa Fe Community College (NM), then head to Santa Fe Brewing Company for an afternoon of running, shopping, beer, and celebration.

Trust us—you don't want to miss this one!

For the past 25 years, we've striven to offer the very finest in-store running specialty experience, with quality products and knowledgeable and friendly staff. That said, we love getting out into the running community too!! We greatly enjoy and are honored to work with a myriad of events and races both here in Santa Fe and all over New Mexico.

This past weekend was a busy one, as we were in attendance at both the Trails and Tales 5k run/walk for Children's Literacy presented by the St Vincent Hospital Foundation right here in Santa Fe, and also the Roadrunner Race clear down in quaint and historic Santa Rosa. Meanwhile, over in Albuquerque our friends at Polly's Run and RunFit were helping to spread the word about our upcoming High Desert Miles Group Run and High Desert Half Marathon Training Group Rio Rancho, which will train runners for several fall races, including RunFit's Chips and Salsa Half Marathon.

All combined, these events featured nearly 1,000 runners and walkers, and helped to raise both funds and awareness for children's literacy, youth arts programs, and pancreatic cancer research.

We love providing quality footwear, but there's just nothing quite like being a part of events like these...

As our friend Bill Rodgers would say, "See You On The Roads!"

The course starts near La Tienda at Eldorado and runs along Old Las Vegas Highway and the Old Santa Fe Trail, before dropping runners into the finish in the historic Railyard in the heart of City Different.

Back for its second year, the High Desert Half Marathon Training Group is the most sure-fire way around to get in shape for race!! What's more, all group members receive a 30% discount on registration for the Santa Fe International Half Marathon!

We're beyond proud to partner with the St Vincent Hospital Foundation and CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in support of their mission to provide exceptional healthcare and enhance community health and wellbeing.

Their mission extends well beyond healthcare. For example, the Tales and Trails 5k Walk/Run for Children's Literacy will be held this Saturday, June 6th at Villa Linda Park. Registration is still open! Proceeds will benefit the Reach Out and Read Program, a powerful initiative that promotes early literacy by providing books to children and encouraging families to build a love of reading from the start. We'll be there race day, and hope you can be too!

Our friends at Christus St. Vincent's are also graciously working to promote our training and group run events as part of a healthy lifestyle for our community. They encourage St. Vincent's staff and others to be a part of initiatives such as our High Desert Half Marathon Training Group Santa Fe-a community training group for runners of all levels and abilities-and our upcoming High Desert Miles Group Run. It's a chance to come run or walk with the world-famous Bill Rodgers, the 4x winner of the Boston and New York City Marathons, and the greatest American marathon runner EVER!

It's a true honor to work with the St. Vincent Hospital Foundation, and join in their mission for a healthy, active, and fulfilling life.
