"Local runners, clubs, gyms and community organisations have reached out with so many inspiring ideas for collaborations and partnerships.

"This confirms what we always thought about York. It’s a place teeming with people who share our passions for running, the outdoors and training.

"We hope people will use the store not just as a shop, but also as a gathering place before and after runs, hikes and gym sessions. All are welcome and excellent coffee awaits."

The York store will open seven days a week. Opening from 9am-5pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am-4pm on Sundays.
