A letter from our Founder, Jeanine Sylvester 💛

To my very important friends,

I’m excited to share some big news with you all – Runner’s Alley is officially changing its name to Marathon Sports! Since joining the Marathon Sports family in 2015, we’ve been operating seamlessly as one team, bringing you a fantastic range of products and top-notch services. This name change will unify our brand and make things more clear and simple for everyone.

WHY NOW?
To eliminate the confusion of operating under two different names.
To unify our brand and make it easier for you to know who we are and what we stand for.

WHAT’S CHANGING?
Just our name! Our commitment to our community, our fantastic team, and our operations remain the same.
Runner’s Alley gift cards will still be valid at all Marathon Sports locations across NH, MA, CT, and RI.

I couldn’t be happier about this transition. It’s been an amazing journey with you all, and I’m excited about this next chapter. We’re stronger than ever and ready to continue serving the runners, walkers, and fitness enthusiasts of NH with the same passion and dedication. We’ve had an incredible run together, and from the bottom of my heart I want to thank each of you for all your unwavering support and the amazing friendships we’ve built.

With warmest regards,
Jeanine Sylvester
Runner’s Alley Founder
