Gaithersburg Store Team Member

Who We Are:

Charm City Run is a running and walking specialty company consisting of 8 retail locations and an events and training division.  Founded in 2002, our mission is to inspire and move the human spirit one sole at a time. We love this statement. It’s a lofty goal, but we have a humble and perhaps ignorant belief that we can do this every day.  Charm City Run Events produces over 130 endurance sporting events per year.  Over 85,000 runners and walkers cross a Charm City Run finish line every year.  Charm City Run Training prepares over 2,200 people per year for events from a 5K through an ultra marathon.  The Live. Give. Run. Foundation has donated over one million dollars in 20 years and Charm City Run Events helps local non-profits raise over $500,000 a year for their respective causes.
