Looks like we should officially be open in Mill Creek on Friday December 17th!!  Look forward to seeing everyone at the new location.

We started build out on the new location in the Mill Creek Town Center.  Looking at being in by December 4th if everything continues as planned.  We couldn’t be more excited about being part of the Mill Creek and look forward to supporting the local running, walking and triathlon communities.

Start of build out.

Congratulations to the local high schools at the Washington State XC Championships.  Dan Parker and his Glacier Peak girls brought home the state championship in dominating fashion with 41 pts.   Other local teams placing were Stanwood girls 4th in 4A,  Everett boys 8th in 3A,  Lakewood girls 8th in 2A,  Jackson boys 9th in 4A,  Glacier Peak boys 9th in 3A, Jackson girls 10th in 4A and Lake Steven boys 16th in 4A.   Glacier Peak’s Amy Eloise Neale won the girls 3A title and Run 26 employee Tansey Lystad from Inglemoor won the girls 4A title.

We will be starting our build out soon and hope to be up and running by December.  Look for us on Halloween handing at candy and discount cards.   We are tentatively planning our Grand Opening celebration for the weekend of January 14-16th.  We will have vendors on hand with promotions and discounts, a triathlon clinic and all merchandise will be discounted.  We will keep  you updated on our move as we get closer.  Look forward to moving to the Mill Creek neighborhood and hope to see many of you there!!

Run 26 will be moving in mid December to the Mill Creek Town Center.   We are very excited about the new location and look forward to continue to support our loyal customers.   The store will still have massage available and we will be adding triathlon gear into the mix as well. We will keep you updated on our progress and our Grand Opening specials!
