//THE SQUAD

COLIN//

Owner, President of Marathon Sports. Colin boasts a running pedigree that causes most athletes' eyes grow to the size of dinner plates. Boasting a PR of 28:18 for 10k and having qualified during the 1996 Olympic Marathon trials, the former All-American runner from the University of Virginia is one of the most active business owners in the industry. His background in biomechanics and kinesiology helped to develop what is now called the Right Fit, a unique footwear fitting process now emulated in specialty stores across the nation.

PATRICK//

Patrick is our General Manager. In addition to holding the primary responsibilities of hiring, scheduling, and human resources management, he is also the most focused point of employee training in our company. He comes from a diverse athletic background, playing soccer, hockey, and basketball all through his childhood and played soccer at Mercyhurst College in Pennsylvania before joining our ranks. He has run a marathon and has participated in numerous relays (Reach the Beach, Hood to Coast), and has his eyes set on Badwater in 2012.

NICK//

Nick is our Marketing Manager, and acts as a primary point of contact for all external promotions, from road races and charity events to advertising and web campaigns. His athletic background is a scattered list of passions all over the map, having played soccer and lacrosse throughout his youth, and capped with a pair of silver medals from the Head of the Charles and the IRA Collegiate National Championship during his 4 years as a rower for Northeastern University.

MIKE//

Mike is our Footwear Buyer, and holds a primary responsibility of both determining what few shoes (of the thousands out there) that have earned the right to a spot on our wall, and managing our entire six-store inventory. A New Jersey native, Mike's running days extend all the way back to his days on the Jersey Shore as a youth, and since his migration to Boston he has competed in countless road races of all distances, including having run 4 marathons.

MARY//

Mary is our Apparel Buyer and is responsible for making all of us look good while training. More importantly, she hand picks and merchandises all of the apparel items that roll into each of the six stores from season to season. Understanding each store's unique clientele and their needs is always on Mary's mind. Mary has run Reach the Beach, the Boston Marathon, and a number of local races including Falmouth. Prior to lacing up her running shoes for these events, she became one with her road bike and biked acrossd America in 48 days (Northern route, Washington state to Washington, DC). Triathlons, from the Timberman 1/2 Ironman to Danskin, were the catalyst to get her off her bike and her feet on the ground. If you see Mary in the store, she's the one tearing down the merchandise and revamping it with new items. Be sure to let her know what you like and any customer requests; we're always looking at new product.
