Potomac River Running, Inc. announces its fifth running specialty store in the greater DC area. The Potomac River Running Store in the Cleveland Park neighborhood of Washington, DC, joins Potomac River Running's Arlington, Ashburn, Burke, and Reston Town Center locations and adds a =PR= location in the city. It is located at 3513 Connecticut Avenue, NW, in the Sam's Park & Stop center, steps from the Cleveland Park Metro on the Red Line.

=PR= Cleveland Park now offers the excellent customer service and video gait analysis that customers have come to identify with Potomac River Running at a Metro-accessible location in the city. "For the past five years, we have had customers asking when we might extend our reach closer into Washington," explained co-owner, Brendan Shapiro. He continued, "we are very excited about our new location with it's convenience to the Metro and rare opportunity for validated parking. The Cleveland Park neighborhood is a vibrant part of the District and we are looking forward to serving the running, walking, and multi-sport community that lives, works, shops, plays there."

The Cleveland Park store provides Potomac River Running another location to serve DC area running, walking, and multisport communities and continue outreach programs to charity teams in training, corporate wellness and training programs, and youth athletes. It also will enable the company to further expand the popular Running 101 and other training programs currently offered through PR Training Programs, LLC. The store will offer free All-Comer's Runs on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 PM (starting in early December), monthly post-run happy hours, in- store seminars, and other regular social events.

Family-owned by local runners and coaches Cathy and Ray Pugsley, coach and US Triathlon Team member Margie Shapiro, and her husband Brendan Shapiro, Potomac River Running Store offers the best brands in running, walking, and triathlon shoes, apparel, and accessories as well as a variety of lifestyle brands. Free on-site video gait analysis enables correct shoe fitting which can help to improve comfort and reduce the risk of injury.
