Who are we?

Achilles Running will be a technical running store serving the recreational, youth, high school, collegiate, professional and master runners and athletes in northeast Ohio & northwest Pennsylvania .   The store will cater to the athletes that need the appropriate equipment and accessories to outfit them during training and competition. 

We are not just another “big box” store or franchise. Our mission is to provide personal, knowledgeable and congenial service to the customer that wants to be treated by a retailer that truly understands and appreciates their individual needs and goals.

The owners have both been competitive athletes in high school, collegiate, nationally, internationally and now in the coaching ranks at the high school and club level, we have a combined forty five years of being involved in the sport of running.  We have the passion, determination, discipline and motivation to provide athletes and customers with the highest degree of knowledge and service to our clientele.  Knowing the sport of running as well as we do, we can provide the customers with unlimited knowledge pertaining to the sport but more importantly  of  the appropriate gear and apparel that will best suit the needs of the customer.  The owners are runners, local high school coaches and a Foot & Ankle surgeon.

Achilles Running will target the serious athlete who is unable to receive the appropriate education, equipment and knowledge at a local ‘big box’ retail store or unable to drive great distance to a running specialty store.  In addition, we will be able to service the casual walker, novice athletes and any individual that desires to be outfitted for their athletic activity. An “everyday” shoe can also be recommended for the person who needs a comfortable and supportive fit for their specific foot type.

Achilles Running will not only able to offer equipment and apparel for their athletes but also offer gait analysis, sponsor road races and track meets, host ‘team nights’, provide access to medical treatment,  provide athletes college recruiting services and lastly create a competitive running team for the post collegiate athletes, youth and masters divisions.
