How long have you been in business?

9 Years on Sydney Northern Beaches in Manly

What got you started?

I love my sports and with a background in running and triathlons, there wasn’t a quality specialist store that I could visit for my shoes. So with my passion for the sport I thought I would see if I could make a difference!

What separates your store from other sports retail?

Our knowledge of the sporting industry and sport retail products, combined with our quality staff and excellent customer service all at very competitive prices.

Who is your favourite international athlete? (now & past)

Haile Gebrselassie and Steve Prefontaine

Who has been the most inspirational Australian runner & why?

Robert De Castella – He helped increase the awareness of running in Australia, not only locally but on a world scale at the beginning of a new era in running as the Africans commenced their assault on the running world.

What do you think of the 2011 New Balance Running product?

In a word – Exciting! The new products look and feel fantastic!
