It was my first time at Marathon sports today, and I was completely blown away by their service. John really took care of me and was very knowledgeable. I understand now why I was recommended this place. No other businesses compare.

I had a great experience here, New-ish to running after years of neglect; got my feet scanned, tried shoes that felt great, and I'm out there once again. Very welcoming staff here!

Great, hand-picked selection of gear. Not the average, unselected department store kind of experience. Instead, individual help from highly knowledgeable people like Talia (she deserves a raise??). You can tell the entire team/leadership genuinely care about the sport. Strong recommendation.
