My expensive hobby!

soundRUNNER is a family owned and operated specialty running store located on the Connecticut Shoreline. We have 3 locations…Branford, Madison and Old Saybrook. We sell footwear, apparel, and accessories for men, women and children.

Hi, if you are coming to my blog for the first time…WELCOME…My name is Julie and I own soundRUNNER. My husband used to tease that this is my very expensive hobby. What I can tell you is that it is expensive to have your own business, but this is in no way is a hobby . I LOVE owning these store, and having the opportunity to impact people’s lifestyle in such a positive way.

Whether it’s the Youth Running Camps, RUNSTART and RESTART programs, Saturday Morning Coffee Series, Friday Pizza for high school athlete’s,  or the many races we sponsor and support. We also have WISHLIST NIGHT, MODEL’S IN  THE WINDOW and RUNNER’S NIGHT.

During the week group runs, Wednesday group runs at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday morning runs at 8 a.m. You can also find groups throughout the week leaving from any of our 3 locations. We have groups running throughout the week at Supply Pond, Saltonstall and Lake Hammonassett. Right now you can go to Old Saybrook and participate in Benny’s Mystery Miles, 7:30 a.m….Sunday Dog Runs in Branford’s Supply Pond at 8 a.m.

    How far are the Sat morning runs? Are you running the Branford race course?

    • soundrunnerct says:

      The Saturday morning runs are dependent on several things, mostly on what people are training for…right now a lot of people are training for the Fairfield Half and Branford Road Race.

      Yes, there are groups that are running the Branford Road Race course…others are running in the woods…some are beginning runners who are just now doing the BRR course (or part of it).

      You should come out though…speed and distance varies. We do have a staff member who runs with the group and that will provide assistance.

      We run from all soundRUNNER locations.

    NO YOGA IN ANY OF OUR SOUND RUNNER LOCATIONS…WE ARE REEVALUATING THAT PROGRAM ALTOGETHER.
