While these membership fees support the club and our mission, we acknowledge the impact of COVID or other reasons. If you are able to pay the full amount, we encourage you to do so in order to support the club and our mission. If you are unable to contribute the $25 membership fee for 2020-2021 due to COVID, you do not need to submit payment. If this is the case, please still submit your completed membership form so we know you are interested in joining the community.

“The mission of the Movin’ Shoes Running Club is to foster an inclusive running group that supports the local running community through volunteerism, team race participation, training, and social events. We welcome runners of all abilities and styles to be part of the team.”

Club Goals

  • To represent Movin’ Shoes in a positive manner through volunteerism, sportsmanship, friendliness, encouragement, and teamwork.
  • To actively promote the Movin’ Shoes community on social media (i.e. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Strava) if/when possible.
  • To wear a Movin’ Shoes t-shirt/singlet during races and volunteering events!
  • To assist the local running community in their personal fitness goals
  • To have fun!

Club Etiquette

  • Golden rule – always treat others how you would want to be treated
  • Be safe – be alert when crossing streets, wear the appropriate gear, run on the left, remain visible
  • Proudly wear your Movin’ Shoes tshirt or race singlet!
  • Have fun!

Statement of Inclusion

We strive to connect runners across race, pace, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sex, gender identity, ability, age, religion, non-religion, and sexual orientation. We are on this journey together, and recognize that there is work to be done regarding racism, social justice, and equality. We are dedicated to fostering a running community that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. Anyone committed to treating others with dignity, respect, and fairness is welcome here; we encourage runners to bring their whole selves, knowing that they will be respected – because running is for all of us.

A taste of what’s to come this April. A taste of what’s to come this April.
These throwback photos keep getting better. Introd These throwback photos keep getting better. Introducing our social coordinator, Tim! • Name: Tim Willcox • Hometown: Green Bay, WI • Years Running: 28 • Favorite route: Trails in the Arb • Why do you run? Lots of reasons! I like setting a race goal and doing the work to achieve that goal (there's meaning in the process!) I like eeking the very last drop of ability out of myself during races and workouts. I like being outside and experiencing all the different weather and the seasons. I like the social time when running with friends. I like clearing my head and daydreaming during solo runs. I like seeing the sun rise and the sun set. I like the lifestyle. I like being fit! • Why did you join the club? There's just something about being around a bunch of like minded individuals that feels "right". It's nice to be part of a spinning wheel! • Favorite/weirdest running memory? My entire senior year of cross country eligibility at UW-Platteville. Our varsity team was made up of a lot of upperclassmen and we set the goal to qualify as a team for the NCAA championships...we'd be the first team in school history to do so. Everyone on the team, varsity and JV went all in on the goal...logged tons of miles...took care of the small things...and wouldn't you know...we did it! It was just a good feeling to know everyone on the team was working just as hard as you to make the goal. It made digging a little deeper in a race that much easier. • Favorite recovery snack? Fruit smoothie, coffee, and if the day allows...a shower beer.
Hi fives for everyone! Introducing volunteer coord Hi fives for everyone! Introducing volunteer coordinator and Bay Loop extraordinaire, Zachary: • Name: Zachary Redding • Hometown: Spooner, WI • Years Running: Like 23 or so • Favorite route: Monona Loop plus the bay since I have to get home. • Why do you run? It clears the mind, but also going up against a stopwatch tests my limits. • Why did you join the club? It's great having the store as our home base close to where I live, and it's been enjoyable getting to know others across differing age groups and abilities. Plus our color scheme is hot. • Favorite/weirdest running memory? Holy cow, there are many. But to narrow it down to a common thread, I have several that have come from Ragnar Relays- In one race, alerts came out that a) a bear was spotted on a course segment, as well as b) a drunk driver on a subsequent segment. In another, one of our runners was re-routed two additional miles due to a shooting investigation, and finally a segment in the middle of the last Ragnar I did was delayed for a couple hours as police tracked down a road rage suspect. • Favorite recovery snack? For a healthy training option, chocolate milk/cocoa. After a big event, pizza or a burger & fries.
Remember Morgan? Hint: she was in a stroller from Remember Morgan? Hint: she was in a stroller from the last post. Our Diversity coordinator and killer route master, introducing Morgan Boss: • Name: Morgan Boss • Hometown: Lawrence, KS • Years Running: 10 • Favorite route: On the Lakefront Trail to Picnic Point. Gotta touch the lucky rock. • Why do you run? To feel accomplished and to build my confidence. I’ve never been naturally gifted when it comes to athletics (don’t throw a ball at me) but I am proud of the workouts and races I have finished. Also, being able to run with my dad is always a gift! • Why did you join the club? I’m an introvert and have always run alone, so this was an opportunity to force myself out of my comfort zone. I joined the group a couple weeks after moving to Madison to find a community and to find friends. • Favorite/weirdest running memory? My favorite memory was finishing a half Ironman. I had never been so exhausted and so elated and so nauseous at the same time. Back then, I even had to walk a big chunk of the half marathon. I hope to complete the Madison Half Ironman this upcoming year and run it all! • Favorite recovery snack? Eggs. Scramble them. Fry them. Throw them in an omelet.

The details tell the story in this limited release of the Nike Vaporfly NEXT% 2 ($260): Yellow and green colors inspired by University of Oregon. June of 1972 was the first time that Eugene hosted the Trials. The product celebrates that with details of 06:1972 on the heel and ’72 encircled by the lanes of the track on the rear.

With things getting better in the area, we have a bit of good news to share! We have decided to transition away from appointments. Starting today, we will be open for walk-ins only during business hours. We recognize that there may be folks out there who wish to shop without coming inside, so we will keep our curbside service and shipping option. Give us a call to order for curbside or shipping. We have made the tough decision to end our free local delivery option. It was a good run with our delivery van. We will also keep limited appointment options on Monday mornings from 9:30-10 AM for those who need the shop to themselves for their safety. After May 24th these appointments will be limited, so please only book if you need to. You can book those on our website.
