Brand New Items at RRRC

The last past few weeks at RRRC we have been receiving a plethora of new and improved items to add to our inventory.

Saucony's updated Omni 8 and Paramount 2 have arrived, along with the Ride 2, which adds another neutral shoe option to our store, and another color option, purple and silver, for the Women's Triumph 6.

The Omni 8, the women's color pictured above, has been flared and softened in the forefoot since its predecessor, giving it a better ride without sacrificing its stability. They've added their ultra cushioned Comfortride sockliner and personal fitting archlock, both technologies used in their recent editions of the Triumph and Guide.

The Paramount 2, the men's pictured above, still contains the best of Saucony's technological advances with added plush and a small medial post for stability. Its like the Guide but amped up with cushion and a better ride. Since its previous edition, the Paramount 2 has been softened up, beefed up in the sole, and made a bit more airy in the Comfortemp upper.

Saucony's Ride 2 (the men's color option pictured above) is a comfortable neutral option for those looking for an everyday trainer. The Ride 2 contains Saucony's cushioned Comfortride sockliner, Hydrator collar lining which is Saucony's performance moisture wicking fabric, and SRC (Super Rebound Cushioning) in the forefoot, giving it an ultra cushion in the forefoot and easier toe-off.

Brooks has replaced their light stability shoe, the Infiniti, with the Ravenna (the women's pictured above). Though not considered a light weight trainer, coming in at only 10.8 ounces (men's size 9), the Ravenna can be used as one. It also has a snugger fit and adjustability in the upper allowing it to fit properly and comfortably when the foot is swollen.



Adidas' Ride has been updated to the Ride 2 (the men's pictured above). It has a softer upper, the insole has been fixed from the previous edition, added more memory foam in the heel, and it is now gender specific.




Winter apparel is also now making its appearance in the RRRC store. Zoot, Saucony, and Adidas are just the start of the brands we will be carrying this winter season. Right now we have Saucony beanies, skull caps, gloves, and headbands. All essentials to keep body heat from escaping the head and hands. Right now we carry Zoot's Ultra run pant (pictured above) that not only will keep you warm on those cold winter days with hand warmer pockets and an internal BIOwrap brief but also allows for muscle stabilization and compression with its BIO wrap construction.

Come in today to get your winter apparel and new shoes for your December races!!

Congratulations St George Marathon Finishers!

Steven Morgan, approaching the finish

Official time 2:47:36

October 3, 2009 marked the 33rd year of the St George, Utah marathon. Bonfires blazed at the start area keeping the 8,000 or so participants some what warm in the chilly mountains before the 6:45 am start. When the time came and the race started, runners of various age, athletic ability, gender, and hometown came together to attempt to achieve the same goal: get across the finish line 26.2 miles away. The course wound down along the SR-18 taking a scenic tour of the Diamond Valley, Snow Canyon, and finally ending with a short partial tour of St George itself. Two RRRC staff, Jessica Destito and Bethaney McLaughlin, Steven Morgan from the RRRC race team, and his father, Gerry Morgan all took on the challenge to complete the 2009 St george marathon. Jessica set her PR and qualified for Boston again with a time of 3:22:30. Bethaney also set her PR of 4:38:28. Gerry Morgan set his PR of 3:40:28. And Steven Morgan completed the race in 2:47:36. Congratulations to all those who finished the marathon. Thanks to the City of St George for putting on such a wonderful and pretty well organized event. This is definitely one marathon worth running.
