Where do you shop for your running gear? Realizing it is hard at times to turn down that greatly discounted older model item the place to go is your local store. As this article shares, it is not just about selling wares but about so much more - including training groups and holding and supporting local races. We have such shops in Elizabethtown KY, Running Soles, as well as Lexington KY, John's Run/Walk Shop, and Nashville TN, Nashville Running Company. So get out and support your local running stores and if you have to at times pick up that "smoking deal" that's OK as we all only have so much cash but always remember where your main go to place of business should be and take that savings and funnel it back into your local store.

In looking for ways to make X-Country more marketable there were calls for it to be more "extreme and edgier."
