Community Partner: Georgetown Running Company

The Georgetown Running Company is a specialty running store located in Georgetown and Chevy Chase, MD. We offer a full fitting service to runners, walkers, and fitness enthusiasts. This entails a seated and unseated foot measurement with a Brannock measuring device, short interview where we ask questions about activity, frequency, injury history, surfaces, orthotic usage, among a number of other important factors. We then watch the client walk with just socks or barefoot, and then we select a neutral flexible shoe and watch as well as videotape the client run/walk on the treadmill. After this, we play the video back for the customer and explain whatever problems we notice with their gait. We then select shoes for them to try on based on their foot shape, function, body type, and injury history.  

In addition to running shoes we also offer a vast selection of apparel and accessories. We carry tops and bottoms specifically designed for working out. All the apparel that we carry in the store is made of moisture wicking fabrics that help keep your bodies core temperature regulated, allowing you to work out comfortably indoors and out. On top of the apparel we also carry accessories for all your fitness needs. We have everything from over the counter orthotics to heart rate monitors and Garmin GPS watches to carefully monitor your workout.

The staff here is made up of runners, from collegiate athletes to fitness runners, and we understand foot mechanics from years and years of experience as well as training and studying. We make sure to treat everyone equally from your Olympic hopeful to your fitness walker.
