Last but not least, our final store feature is our Fells Point shop! We opened this location in the fall of 2017 with a great view of the waterfront from the store windows. ° Since opening, we have loved growing our training groups and becoming more involved with the local running community. We host weekly Monday Morning Runs (join us any Monday at 6am from the store) and Traveling Tuesday Evening Runs (check out our website for the changing locations). Every Saturday morning, lots of runners pass the shop during their long runs along the promenade and we always have water out to help you stay hydrated. Come by and say hi during your run! We also see a lot of locals walking in during their lunch break/after work along with Baltimore visitors looking for MD apparel to take home. ° Comment below if you are a CCR Fells Point runner/shopper!
Our Sunday Runday store feature is Frederick! After years of being closed on Sundays, you can now shop on Sundays in Frederick 12-4pm. ° If the Shoe Fits opened in Frederick the same year that we opened our first Charm City Run location - 2002. At the beginning of 2017, store owner John Kippen retired and we were honored to welcome Frederick and store lead John Leonardis to the CCR family. Frederick has an awesome trail running community and we host a monthly trail run every first Saturday. Whether you love to tackle the local trails, race the roads or walk around town, we hope to see you soon!
Happy Friday! It's the second to last day of Tax-Free Week and today we're featuring Charm City Run Locust Point. Our first Baltimore location opened in 2012 in McHenry Row. Have you ever noticed the shape of our lighting fixtures on the ceiling? Swipe to see! Look familiar? ° We love the energy here every Thursday night for our weekly pub runs. Join us any week! We start at 6:30pm and enjoy a free beer from World of Beer after the run. Our Sole of the City 10K race in April also starts and finishes near these doors at the end of McHenry Row. Comment below if you have run with us! ° You can follow us for store specific updates here - @charmcityrunlocustpoint. ° Have a great weekend!
It's Tax-Free Thursday! As a reminder, everything at CCR shops is tax-free this week through Saturday. ° Today's feature is our Columbia store! Our first location in the area was in Clarksville and opened in 2011. We moved to our Columbia spot in 2016 and are now conveniently located right next to Starbucks. 🏃🏾‍♂️+☕=👍🏾. ° 🍻Our bi-monthly pub runs are a blast and constantly growing. You have a chance to join us for the Third Thursday Pub Run tonight and while you're here you can learn about the opportunity to win fun prizes with the Brooks Best Fest. ° ⭐Coming up we're also excited to launch our first Oktoberfest 5 Miler Training Group. Join us for the kick-off on September 7th! ° Comment below if you are a Columbia runner!
Tax-Free Week continues with a feature from our Annapolis store. We opened our location in the Annapolis Towne Centre in 2008 with our VP Tom and now our current store lead Kelly is also our training program director and coaches our half and full marathon groups in Annapolis. One of our favorite parts of the store is our graffiti Charm City Run sign. ° ⭐Swipe all the way to see our new Brooks Run Happy shop exclusively at CCR Annapolis. ° 👟Tomorrow is an awesome opportunity to visit us in Annapolis at our Game of Foams events! Our High School XC Day is from 3-6pm and our Pub Run is at 6:30pm. We'll have 6 shoe reps and a few accessory brands here (think like an expo set-up) and you'll be able to demo shoes and ask all of your questions. Try shoes from all 6 brands and be entered to win our raffles for cool prizes! XC Day is geared towards high school runners, siblings, friends, parents and coaches but both events are open to all! We hope to see you there.
Yes, it's still Tax-Free Week! Shop through Saturday without tax on any items in our stores. ° Today we're highlighting Bel Air - our 2nd Charm City Run location. This shop opened in 2005 on Main Street. We love being down the street from the Ma & Pa Trail and hosting weekly Wednesday pub runs. This shop was opened by our VP/Footwear Buyer Brian and has been managed by 2 Pickett Brothers - Josh and Ben. Comment below if you are a Charm City Run Bel Air regular! ° P.S. you can follow Bel Air at @charmcityrunbelair
