SHOE FITTINGS

Based on arch type, cushioning level, and pronation style shoe need to be fit or "matched" properly to specific feet.  Shoes have a finite life expectancy whether used or unused.  Under normal circumstances this means switching shoes every 300-500 miles or about 6 months of consistent wear.  If you work, laugh, play, and also run in shoes, this timeframe can be very different.  

 

I.e. Standing on your feet for 4 hours a day without any running = 6 month replacement time

Sunset Runway 5K – Race the Runway

​The Sunset Runway 5K is more than just a race—it’s an experience unlike any other. As the sun dips behind the rolling hills of Broome County, runners and walkers take off down the wide-open runway of the Greater Binghamton Airport, surrounded by panoramic views of the Southern Tier. The setting creates the perfect backdrop for golden-hour photos, with planes, clouds, and a fiery sky painting a scene you’ll want to capture and remember. The flat, fast course makes it fun for both competitive racers and casual participants, while the atmosphere is pure celebration. After crossing the finish line, stick around for live music from If Madrid, savor a hot meal from The Kitchen Counter or Downtown Danny’s, cool off with a sweet treat from Here’s The Twist, and test out the latest running shoes from Brooks and Adidas.. Add in the energy of friends, families, and kids cheering on the sidelines, and this one-of-a-kind evening blends running, community, and incredible sunset vibes into a race you’ll look forward to year after year.
