New Location, Same Philosophy
"I opened Eclipse Running in 1994 with one goal-- to make it a business I was proud to own. The first store was just 600 sq. ft and we only carried four brands of shoes. I wasn't a franchise and I didn't have retail experience. The only experience I had was a lifetime of running, and a passion to share my love of all things connected to running. Over the years, I have met many friends and customers who share this passion, from the local running groups with seasoned runners to the various teams training for races to the new enthusiastic runners or walkers. As the store grows, my goal has remained the same.
I am now hard at work on our new location at 3434Lakeside Drive (northeast corner of Lakeside and Moana). Stop by to say hello if you are in the neighborhood. I expect that we will make the move in late November."
