our storyLex Running Shop was established in September of 2018, but it really began a long time before that. Colin met Jess in college, and a shared love for running was the unexpected bond that brought together an Accounting major and a French major. It wasn't surprising that it was on an afternoon run together that he proposed to Jess. Running has been a constant thread throughout their life together, but running became more than just a casual hobby for Jess when their family of four (let's not forget daughter Sloane and Gus the dog) moved to Lexington in the summer of 2015. Through the cultivation of running friendships, a simple invitation to join a running group, and hundreds of miles later, the idea to open a running shop was born.
When Jess isn't running the shop, she loves spending time with her family, reading a good book, and (you guessed it!) running. Colin is a professor at Washington & Lee University and in his free time enjoys running and fishing the beautiful streams of the Shenandoah Valley.
