I see where The Columbus Running Company which started in Dublin four years ago and opened their Pickerington store two years ago are opening a 3rd store in Westerville next month –

The guys who own these stores care about running in Columbus. I can’t say that for all of the stores in the area. Also, the owners of the Columbus Running Company stores were the race directors of the USATF Club CC Championships last December and they help with numerous other races in the area and do a good job with high school coverage as well…
Good luck!!!
