SARATOGA SPRINGS — iRun LOCAL announced that it will celebrate its grand opening of a running and walking specialty store in downtown Saratoga Springs at 18 Congress Street on Saturday, March 29, 2014 at 10 a.m. iRun LOCAL offers quality running and walking shoes, seasonal fitness apparel, and other running and walking accessories. The store provides runners and walkers with educated direction on the proper gear for their unique styles. “Saratoga Springs boasts a rich running tradition with the state champion Blue Streaks, the Saratoga Stryders running club, and weekly organized races. This city deserves a running specialty store,” said Jamie Mastroianni, owner and founder. “We believe that by providing gear that looks great, feels great, maximizes performance, and helps prevent injuries, we’ll encourage runners and walkers to increase their activity, resulting in better health.” iRun LOCAL creates a welcoming atmosphere for all athletes, with an emphasis on the local community. The store features a “Community Wall,” that details outreach events and opportunities, highlighting local organizations that provide relief and restoration for the community, such as the Franklin Community Center and The Wilton Food Pantry. The store also uses the latest technology to improve runners’ form through video analysis of running technique, and provides access to expert advice and training programs from high school and division I coaches.
