Road Runner Sports, "The World's Largest Running Store", is opening a retail store in the Elkridge/Columbia, MD area in mid-December. Known largely by its catalog and Web site ordering, Road Runner Sports brings the online and over-the-phone customer service experience that people have enjoyed since 1983 to life in a retail setting. The 60-day Perfect Fit Guarantee, large selection of running shoes and apparel, and an interactive buying experience makes Road Runner Sports an exciting and welcome addition to the active community. Our running analysis center, known as Shoe Dog--with digital imaging of your foot, and treadmill cameras to analyze your gait--will provide that "Wow" experience, guarantee a perfect fit, and leave you feeling great.

Managed by long-time local runner Doug Mock, Road Runner Sports is busy building a strong team of Fit Experts. If you are excited about the sport and have a passion for helping others, we are still accepting applications, and resumes can be sent to dmock@roadrunnersports.com.
