WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Does showing up at 6am at the local running store before it's open for a morning run with the owners sound like a dream? Do you get fired up at the opportunity to lead a group of running store employees through a technical session on the difference between Nike running shoes? Do you love retail and watching "the moment of truth" when a local runner chooses what shoes they are going to log the next few hundred miles in?

If so, we believe this could be the job for you!
