Did you know that refueling after a chilly run outside actually warms your body up by kick starting your “internal thermostat”?



Do you run or walk?

….After your kids?   With the dog?   For fitness?   For punishment?   To relax?   To compete?   To finish?   To burn off calories?   To burn off aggression?   On the weekend?   On vacation?   On your lunch-hour?   More slowly than you would like?   Faster than you ought?   Because you feel inspired?   Because you feel guilty?   Because your doctor said you should?   To clear your head?   With your friends?   With your team, coach or training group?   As a warm-up?   As a cool-down?   As conditioning?   On the treadmill?   On the trail?   On the track?   As part of a tri?  While you participate in other sports?   At the gym?   On the playing-field?   To get faster?   To be healthy?   So you can eat cookies?   Only when chased?   For a cause?   For a diversion?   Because you always have?   Because you resolved to start?

Whether you “run” as the dictionary would define it, do triathlon, are a committed fitness walker, or simply are active on your feet, Potomac River Running can help keep you happy in your chosen activity!

WE'RE OPEN! Come check out our new location in Cleveland Park!  We still have some decorating to complete, but we're fully stocked and have a great staff in place ready to help you.

At Potomac River Running, we treat every athlete as an individual, and every individual as an athlete. Our mission is to provide the best in service and products to runners, walkers, and all active people.  We want to be your source not only for running equipment, but for advice, training programs, informational seminars, injury resources -- and all things running, walking and triathlon!

Many people choose running equipment – shoes, apparel, and accessories – to support active lifestyles that don’t involve running. You’re welcome at =PR=! Look at feet at the gym (we do!) – you’ll notice that running shoes are the preferred footwear? Why? A properly selected and fitted technical running shoe supports your unique foot-strike and helps keep you comfortable, taking strain off your muscles and joints. We know you can buy shoes just about anywhere, and believe we are really providing you service and experience, not a just a product. Come in for our free Video Gait Analysis

Video Gait Analysis begins our process for finding the right shoe for your foot and fitness requirements. We carry unusual sizes and widths and try to have a shoe for everyone. We also carry limited shoes in children's sizes designed for children participating in regular running programs. In addition to a broad selection of Footwear, you will also find a wide selection of Apparel and Accessories from brands like Nike, UnderArmour, and Moving Comfort, to take you from trail to gym to dinner in style.

As a local, family-owned business with longtime roots in the area, we are committed to the "small store" feel and will provide you with excellent service and a knowledgeable staff to answer your questions. We will support you as you pursue your fitness goals, whatever they may be. Visit us in Ashburn, Burke, Reston Town Center, Arlington and Cleveland Park!. Whether you need some shoes or some advice, we look forward to seeing you!
