Meet The Shop sponsored by 2XU

As part of regular monthly feature supported by 2XU (www.2xu.co.uk), Tri247 is going to be going up and down the country introducing you to the shops and staff that work hard to give you access to lots of triathlon goodies! So, if you haven’t been to your local shop this is the ideal opportunity to find out a bit more about them and pop in and say hello!

This month we are in Worcester meeting the guys and girls at Runaround Sports & Health

Runaround was established eight years ago as a running store and is now in it's first year of triathlon. Located less than 15 minutes from the M5 (junctions 5 or 6) and 10mins from Worcester City centre, it is the only store in Worcestershire and Herefordshire to combine all three elements of triathlon under one roof. Located at Top Barn Farm, they have a beautiful, clean and private open water swim lake on the doorstep. There are three running trails (2m, 3m and 5m), around the farm, with a mountain bike route planned for 2009. Parking, showers and changing rooms too plus farm shop, kids play area and picnic venue onsite. They specialise in video gait analysis plus custom bike build and fitting with Trybike.
