Wednesday Night Training Social = your chance to try a super shoe!

Meet us at RC Outfitters at 5:30PM for a fun night with Diadora as we gear up for the Steamboat Classic Presented by PNC!

We’ll head out for a 2-mile run, then Diadora will have the Gara Carbon 3 available for a special test run activity. It’s pretty rare to get the chance to demo a carbon plated racing shoe without buying one first, now’s your chance to see what the hype is about and feel the difference for yourself! ⚡️

And because no run social is complete without a post-run hang, we’re heading to Kelleher’s after where the first round is on Diadora. 💙🙌🏻

Elite runner, Allie Ostrander, is headed to Steamboat Classic Presented by PNC!
