Appalachian Running Company

Running store

We opened our doors in 2008. Our store and selection were a bit small but interested people gave us a chance to serve them. Besides our enthusiasm and heart for service, another positive attribute was our location. We were sandwiched between a physical therapy clinic and a casual shoe store. This allowed us to see all kinds of customers. From serious runners to people with a desire to play with grandkids without pain; we saw a little bit of everything.

As we have grown and expanded over the years we’ve honed our ability to use our passions to meet customers’ needs regardless of athletic ability or running speed. Our customers range from ultra-distance runners to diabetic patients and everything in between. Everybody should get an elite level shoe fitting regardless if they are a world champion athlete or not! Read more

    Went in to be fitted for a new pair of running shoes, my first fitting ever. Linda was so helpful! She brought 4 pairs for me to try, and watched me run in all four. In the end we agreed on the same pair and I walked out happy! She was friendly and knowledgeable - highly recommend!!

    The staff here is the most amazing group of people you could ever want to be around. They truly care about their customers and treat them as friends, not just another sale. They truly care about helping people and I will send everyone here.
    If you're looking to get into running, go here. If you're an intermediate or experienced runner, go here. The ARC store is great and the crew there will make you feel like part of their running family. Honestly some of the coolest and most genuine people I've ever met.

    I love this store! Josh and the gang are so helpful and friendly. If you are an athlete or not, stop in and check everything out. My go to place for sneakers, Keens, and, apparel. I like how they take time to assess a customers gate, for proper fit. Thanks ARC !!
