The Running Depot is your specialty running and walking store located in historic downtown Crystal Lake, Illinois at the Brink Street Market Plaza. Pam Andrews, owner/manager, is an avid runner and is dedicated to the sport of running. Pam started running when she was six years old successfully competing in many Amateur Athletic Union meets throughout the United States.

Pam and her staff have superior product knowledge offering top quality footwear (including kid shoes and spikes), apparel, and accessories at competitive prices to meet all your running and walking needs. Pam and her staff will analyze your gait concerning pronation, determine your arch type, view the wear pattern on your existing running or walking shoes, measure your feet for length and width, and ask the right questions to ensure that you purchase the right shoe. The shoe must fit! When you stop by, please bring your current running or walking shoes as well as orthodics or inserts worn in your shoes. Your socks would also be helpful. You can also test run your shoes on a new Precor treadmill.

The Running Depot carries a wide variety of products by Asics, Adidas, Brooks, Hind, Mizuno, Nike, Pearl iZumi, RaceReady, Saucony, and much more. Wider widths and larger shoe sizes are available. If we do not carry a particular product, please let us know because this is "Your Running and Walking Store."

In addition, stop by to pick up an application for several of the local road races. There are several quality races in the Crystal Lake area. Check out the race calendar on this site!

Whether you are a runner, jogger, walker, or someone who just wants a quality and comfortable athletic shoe that fits, The Running Depot is the place to shop.
