Greetings!

 

The quote above was worth repeating. Whether you noticed it two weeks ago or not, there it is again! Have you begun something new yet?

Our Saucony-Sponsored (you now what that means--fun, fun, fun!!) Oshkosh Half-Marathon Training Program is beginning this weekend. Whether you're running Oshkosh for the first time or the fifth, you'll benefit from the program. Running Green Bay or another race instead? Great! We'll help you adjust the training to meet your needs. Walking? Not a problem.

Not sure yet if you want to train with us?
We'll sweeten the deal. Come out for the first session. We're going about 45 minutes. If you have a good time, sign up. If not, go back to your regularly scheduled Saturday morning activities. Free first training session on us!

Before you can get to the end, you've got to have a beginning. That's where we can help.

Read on for other fun activities in and around the store!
