resources
Here at LRS, we love meeting aspiring runners. While running is, at its heart, a simple activity, there are lots of useful tips that can help make your first foray into running enjoyable and fulfilling. We enlisted longtime local runner Coach David Howison--a student of the sport if there ever was one--to help put together a guide for all the beginning runners out there. We love what he wrote and think you'll find it useful. Check it out here.
shop events
Come run with us! All fitness levels are welcome. Unless specifically stated, all group runs start at the shop. Stay tuned for special training groups, shoe demos, fitness challenges, and fun goings on.
pub runs
We think running is fun. But running with friends is better! LRS is excited to partner with local Lexington breweries and restaurants to host FREE group runs where runners and walkers can come together to enjoy a little exercise, great food and drink, and camaraderie.
It has been fun partnering with our friends at Heliotrope Brewery to host a monthly Pub Run/Walk. The first Thursday of each month, join us at 5:30 at Lex Running Shop for an easy 3 mile run or 1.5 mile walk and finish up at Heliotrope for a delicious beer and great company.
Our tech rep Brian from Hoka is coming for our November event, and he is bringing demo sets of several Hoka models for us to try out. When you're done, cool off with an ice cold beer from Heliotrope! All Pub runners and walkers will get $1 OFF their first beer, courtesy of Heliotrope.
Come ready to mingle and meet people while getting out and being active! We encourage all ages and abilities to join us. This is a great opportunity to meet runners of similar pace and make connections. If you prefer to walk instead of run, that's wonderful - we have a walking route prepared for you.
We hope we can build some momentum in our community with our monthly pub runs, so mark your calendars with the dates for the rest of the year: Thursday, Nov 2 and Thursday, Dec 7.

Don't need or want those old running shoes? We'll be glad to take them and recycle them for you. We work together with Got Sneakers to give the less fortunate some new soles. Drop off your old shoes at the shop or contact us for more information.
