How We Started:
What started with Kevin's simple
running involvement with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has turned into
one of the top 50 running stores in America.His distance running career started as he raised money for the Leukemia
and Lymphoma Society in a program called "Team in Training," because
his brother died in 1995 from leukemia.He wanted to share his new found running passion with the community and
as a result, he started Elite Runners and Walkers with a grand opening on
January 20, 1999.What started out as a
small shop with a mere 1400 sq. feet and a total of one employee has now grown
to 4300 sq. ft. store and a staff of 12.
What we want for you:
We like to be considered more
than just another shoe store, and we consider you more than just a customer.You are our friends and we genuinely care
about your running/walking experiences.We want to know what your goals are and how we can help you meet them.Our staff already has a running knowledge
base and while they are training to be an associate we educate them on the core
principles of injury awareness, training, and our fitting program so you, the
client, has a better one-on-one experience with the staff and know the service
you receive is top notch.We care about
our long-term relationship with you and revel in your successes as much as you
do.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to be the central
hub for the Pittsburgh running community and to spread the passion that the
staff has to get people out and moving.We have moved forward with this mission through our involvement in the
development and sponsorship of races around the Pittsburgh Region; educating
the community through wellness clinics, health fairs, good form running
classes, and corporate nights.We have
also encouraged our youth to get involved in Track and Cross Country through
education about running, injury prevention, and through team nights held that
the store.
We hope this is something you are
looking for in a running/walking specialty store.We pride ourselves on finding the right shoes
and accessories to fit your needs.We
cherish your opinions and comments and hope that together we can provide a
place to support your overall wellness goals as well as your competitive
spirit.We hope to see you soon!
