Meet Megan! ✨🦊
She knows the ins and outs of the running world with years of experience in the run specialty industry, a deep understanding of biomechanics supported by her master’s degree in kinesiology, and enough trail miles to make your quads hurt just thinking about it. 🏃🏼♀️🌲
Her passion for helping people find the right shoes, gear, and training resources makes her an incredible addition to Wild River Running. We’re so happy!

Major donation secured. Two turkeys. Endless gratitude.🦃🦃 Thanks, @lensgrocery, for donating our first place prizes for the Fox Trot 5K on Thanksgiving morning!
PRICE INCREASE 10/31!
For this chip-timed race (all paces and walkers welcome!) we’re partnering with @valleyoutreach and collecting gently used athletic wear on race morning. If you have any old running shoes to get rid of, drop them off at the store- each pair raises $2 for VO through our partnership with @sneakers4good.
We have more to share about other small businesses in the valley who are helping to make this event a pretty sweet deal. 😉 Stay tuned.
