HOW TO GET THERE (or, Finding a Needle in a Haystack 101) 6247 Falls Road is not exactly on Falls Road, so it takes a bit of work to find the place. From Baltimore City, take Northern Parkway to Falls Road North through Mount Washington. 9/10ths of a mile past Falls and Lake Avenue you will see Princeton Sports on the right. Prepare to turn right across from the Falls Road Animal Hospital a hundred meters further north. From the Beltway 695, take Falls Road South for a mile and a half. Immediately after passing Old Pimlico Road, you will see the Animal Hospital on your right. Turn left across the road from the Animal Hospital. Go down the hidden drive between Leesha Lee's and Sunnyfield's Corner to the parking lot in the back. You will see a white building on the other side of the parking lot with a set of blue double doors in the center. Behind those doors lies your portal to the wonderful world of running in Baltimore. If you get lost, wander into Princeton Sports and ask for directions...we are outside their back door. Or call 410.296.5050 |

The Falls Road Running Store is locally owned and operated by runners for runners. Located on the premises of the TriSpeed MultiSport Triathlon Academy, it may well be the hardest retail operation to find this side of the Great Divide...but the search is well worth it. The shop carries a variety of the best running equipment from names such as Asics, BodyGlide, Brooks, CoolMax, DoubleLayer, Endurox, Fuel Belt, Gu, HammerGel, KarBoom, Lin Socks, Mizuno, New Balance, Pro Hydrator, Puma, Saucony, Serius Sports, Super Feet, Thorlo, Wrightsox, and others. Theradyne Treadmills and Spinerval Bike Trainers are also available in the shop. But our approach goes much further than simply stocking a commodity product that can be found in big box stores or magazine ads. Our staff knows what works, and can help you discover what works for you. Are you a big guy who doesn't need a motion-control shoe? Come to the Falls Road Running Store. Are you tired of the unknowledgeable staff in the malls and box stores in Baltimore? Come to the Falls Road Running Store. Do you want to talk to someone who knows marathoning, or someone who knows what it takes to PR in a 5K? Come to the Falls Road Running Store. Inside our doors, you will meet people who run for fun, who run for fitness, and who run to win. You may meet milers and marathoners, tracksters and roadies, and even trail runners and some triathletes who are great swimmers and bikers, but hate to run. If fact, you will meet triathletes who love to run. Our clientele ranges from back-of-the-packers to Olympians. Track coaches send their participants to us, marathon training programs send their participants to us, and podiatrists send their patients to us. And, by the way, a lot of people just walk in all by themselves. Looking for narrow or wide sizes? Even if it isn't in stock, we can special order shoes for you as follows: Track Spikes and Racing Flats--Wide Light Weight Trainers--Narrow and Wide Cushioned Shoes--Narrow, Wide, and Very Wide Stability & Cushioning--Very Narrow, Narrow, Wide, and Very Wide Motion Control--Narrow, Wide, and Very Wide New Balance isn't the only company that makes varying widths - such non-motion control favorites as the Asics 2060, Brooks Adrenaline, and Saucony Shadow come in various widths also. Shop hours are generally 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Thursday, and 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM Friday and Saturday. Hours do fluctuate from time to time depending on local race support activities and Tuesday track workouts during the summer months. Call 410.296.5050 for more information. |
